Can You Name These Women’s Shoe Styles? A Fun Fashion Quiz

By request, this quiz tests how well you know the classics and the everyday icons. For each shoe below, read the description, look at the picture and pick the correct name from the list. Answers are at the end—no peeking!

The names: Kitten heels • Espadrilles • Stilettos • Pumps • Slingbacks • Wedges • Mules • Mary Janes • Platform heels • Ballet flats • Ankle booties • Loafers • Peep-toes • D’Orsays

The Quiz

1. A classic closed-toe shoe with a low-to-mid or high heel, smooth upper, and no straps or buckles across the instep. It slips on easily and defines polished elegance.

2. Extremely thin, tall heel (usually 3–4+ inches) that creates a dramatic, leg-lengthening line. Often with a pointed or almond toe.

3. Short, curved, slender heel typically 1–2 inches high. Softer and more wearable than a full stiletto while still giving a feminine lift.

4. Open-back shoe with a strap that wraps around the back of the heel. The defining feature is that rear strap.

5. Canvas (or fabric) upper attached to a thick, braided rope sole. Often flat or lightly wedged with a summery vibe.

6. Continuous solid heel that slopes from the front of the sole to the back—no separate heel piece. Known for comfort and stability.

7. Open-back shoe with no strap or covering around the heel. You simply slide your foot in.

8. Closed-toe style with a single strap across the instep (often with a buckle). The strap is the signature detail.

9. Thick platform sole under the ball of the foot combined with a high heel for extra height and a bold silhouette.

10. Soft, low-profile flat with a rounded or slightly pointed toe and a flexible sole.

11. Ankle-height boot that covers the ankle bone, often with a zipper, elastic, or buckle.

12. Slip-on shoe with a low heel or flat sole, often casual yet polished.

13. A style (usually a pump or heel) with an open front that reveals the toes. The “peek-a-boo” cutout is the defining feature.

14. A elegant pump or heel where the sides are cut away low, creating an open, curved silhouette along the arch. Named after a 19th-century French countess.
