I had to buy them. Tracy: I can see why you bought them. Those kitten heels are perfect for work and partying. Li: Why do people call them kitten heels? Tracy:Honestly, I don’t know. They just do. Perhaps it’s because they are as cute as a kitten. A stiletto is a tall, slim-heeled shoe. They areusually considered to be quite sexy. Li: Ok, and a kitten heel²? Tracy:A kitten heel is a shoe with slightly shorter heel. The heels are usually no more than a couple of inches tall. Nowadays, women wear all different types of shoes. They might wear kitten heels or stilettos or an other type of shoe to work. Li: What do you prefer to wear: kitten heels or stilettos? Tracy: That’s a tough one. I’m quite short so I often wear stilettos, although I think kitten heels are more comfortable.
