Talk:Kitten heel

Nonsense[edit]

In the article you will find the following information (reordered):A kitten heel is a stiletto heel of 5 centimeters or less in height (...) particularly common on sandals. - Sorry, but who is offering such a nonsense to the public? -- 195.14.207.70 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 09:59, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it all depends upon one's nationality (for naturally not everyone uses American terminology!) -- here in Australia, traditionally a 'kitten heel' was defined as a sky-high stiletto -- requiring one to walk like a cat/kitten ~ on one's toes, hence the name. A very old-school usage. The picture in the article is what we would traditionally call a princess heel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.181.122.234 (talk) 06:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"sexual accessory" Really? Its a shoe not a dildo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.191.218.83 (talk) 02:07, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This IS really ridiculous. It's classified as a stiletto because of its sex appeal? Come on. And yeah, calling it a sexual accessory does sound like a dildo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.8.232.242 (talk) 22:20, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image Wanted !![edit]

We want a photo! We Want a Photo!

Actually a couple of photos....Audry Hepburn wearing them, and a straight up photo of the shoe type.

It is ambiguous as to whether the picture at the bottom is a kitten heel or a high heel....I think it's the latter, but only her shoe designer knows for sure!

Give us a photo or drawing, someone!

I agree; an article like this really does need a picture of some description. Seriously - anyone who owns a pair , photo them and upload !!! Machete97 (talk) 19:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found a great image of a pair of kitten heels on Flickr under a suitable license, and added it to the article. It was subsequently removed by another editor who claimed that the shoes in the image weren't at all related to the article (which was ridiculous). I am going to return the image to the article, and ask other editors to consider discussing changing the image here on the talk page before doing so. KDS4444^Talk 19:39, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- The single photograph in the article is not at all what Americans would call 'kitten heels', nor from the comments above what an Australian would either. Can we get a photo we can all agree on, please? Corgi (talk) 18:59, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

French Wikipedia uses the picture at right for "kitten heel". - PKM (talk) 20:33, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
