how to search for Slant heels?

Stagiaire Fash

How can I search for heels like this? I'd love to find red or pink ankle boots with a 1 or 2" heel that has this kind of slant, haven't been able to figure out how to narrow the search at all reasonably.

I recently bought a few pairs of Stuart Weitzman Rapture 55 sock boots which have a 55mm slant heel. The heel is finer than the one pictured. They come in an assortment of colours including red and burgundy which may interest you.

I would probably try a search term like "tapered heel".

Use “booties with slanted block heels” for your search. I tried it and lots of pictures come up.....

often boots with a slant heel are described as having a Cuban heel, so you might want to try that...

Okay, so, judging be the photo in your OP, what you're looking for is a heel that's slanted inward and also flared (wider at the bottom than the top)? Or is it just the slant/angle that's important? Cuban or tapered heel will give you results that are narrower at the bottom. Flared heel seems to give results similar to your first pic, with a wider bottom plus the angle. "Western heel" or "Western block heel" might also be worth trying.

La Ped, thanks for asking! It is very much this exact type of heel I’m after, with the slant and the flare and the general block shape. Trying to search for it has brought up spike heels, block heels without the slant, and various other things. It may be that I just need to know what site will filter their items this finely. I’ll go try “flared heel”.

Deb, do you have a link or a pic? I’m not clear what you mean by “finer” heel.

Staysfit, I just googled that phrase and got lots of pictures too, including the ones in the photo here. Too bad none of those heels are like the one on the red shoes I posted! Is there someplace you’re searching that has better results?

Kkards, the boots you posted look more like an actual Cuban heel than the slant I’m looking for, but maybe it’s just the angle. I can try that phrase on a few sites and see what comes up.

A few weeks ago, Angie posted a pair of boots with a comment about their 90s (or maybe 70s—not sure) vibe. I’d never noticed that kind of heel before, but quite a few people said they had owned some.

ETA: combining many above suggestions brought me these, and several others close to the grail. http://www.valeride.com/cart/

I was going to suggest that Topshop often has heels like this, but, checking the site for what they're currently featuring, I noticed that's where you found the sample you provided. Fleuvog's have also been known to have heels like these, but I don't see it much on their site right now.

Old Chic, thanks! I’ll keep that in mind as styles come out. I’ve heard of Fluevog somehow, but didn’t have any idea of what they carried.

Try “angled block heel”

Hmm, I am not sure why but my browser pulls up pictures of booties with heels more like the ones you show on the red boots......I just entered the search term into the google search engine. Some are a little narrower, but some look identical. I think I saw some purple booties with that heel. There were possibly some other colors, but the purple stood out because I haven’t seen that color since the 70s.

Staysfit, the ways of the interwebs are inscrutable. Thanks for posting all of those for me! I’d love to try the ones at Loris or Vanmaur, but they’re too expensive for me right now.

Rachylou, I might give up and get these instead, if I can figure out a way to use to 30% sale price later on, when they have my size. https://www.lordandtaylor.com/.....4294965159

Try this link to topshop's site today. They posted some new red boots with this kind of heel, but they might be too high.

Old Chic, awesome of you to keep an eye out for me--thanks!

I take it you mean the Houstons? You are right on both counts--there's my heel, and they are too tall. But thanks for bringing them to my attention.

lyn67, I like those shoes you bought. Thanks for the link--that's a new site for me, one I've never heard of. They do have boots with that heel. And they have light pink ankle boots. But that don't have light pink ankle boots with heels like that.
