Spool heel
A spool heel is a heel that is wide at the top and bottom and narrower in the middle,[1] so resembling a cotton reel.[2] Spool heels were fashionable in Europe during the Baroque[3] and Rococo[4] periods. Other periods of popularity include the 1860s[5] and the 1950s.[6] Spool heels are characterized by an hourglass shaped heel .i.e., thick at both ends and thin in the middle. This look has been popularized by John Fluevog.
A low spool heel has a small distinctive flare at the heel bottom. Higher spool heels are close to resembling a stilleto heel, but with a flare at the bottom.
Spool heels provide a lot of comfort of the wearer and are considered a more practical heeled shoe option.
