The slingback heel is a classic piece of footwear. It pairs perfectly with evening dresses as well as professional attire. 

Mule heels are characterised by a backless, slip-on design. It can come in open-toe or closed-toe front. It works best for people who do not fancy very high heels. 

A pointed-toe heel is characterised by having a high, pointed heel. The footwear narrows towards the front and is usually closed-toed. 

As the name suggests, the boot heel is a boot that is heeled. 

Platform heels come with a thick, elevated sole under the front part of the foot to reduce overall arching. It provides more comfort than the regular heel. 

Block heels come with a thick base and a relatively lower heel length. It helps in weight distribution, making it more comfortable. 

Wedge heels are considered one of the most comfortable forms of heeled footwear. 

Stilettos is the classic type of high heels.
