Cuban Heel

The Cuban heel, also known as the flamenco heel, is a short, chunky heel with a bit of an inward bevel at the back. Instead of being straight up and down, the Cuban heel is narrower at the bottom. Seen in profile, it marks an oblique line from the back to the front.

It originated in America, as it was the original footwear worn by cowboys, who wore this type of Cuban heel, which allowed them to better hold the horses' stirrups.
Nowadays, Cuban heeled ankle boots for men are a classic item that never goes out of fashion, used mainly by flamenco dancers and people related in general to the world of flamenco dancing, pilgrimages or the Feria de Abril.
They are also used as party shoes by these groups, especially in Andalusia. Gypsy men also often wear Cuban heeled ankle boots as dress shoes, as they add a distinguished and elegant touch, especially on occasions such as weddings, baptisms and communions.

Traditionally, flamenco ankle boots are made with goat or kid leather instead of cowhide. The sole is also made of leather, as well as the lining of natural leather.

In addition to flamenco ankle boots, cowboy style boots with Cuban heels, also known as cowboy boots, are also produced.
These Cuban-heeled cowboy boots are an exact replica of the footwear worn by cowboys, and are common among motorbike enthusiasts. Especially cowboy boots with a Cuban heel are a very popular accessory for Harley-Davidson fans.
