What kind of heel is the 'wooden heel' mentioned in the shoe descriptions?
When looking at derby shoes or mary janes, you will encounter the term 'wooden heel' as the heel material. It naturally raises the question of how a solid wooden heel supports the foot.
A wooden heel is carved from wood to solidly support weight, with a rubber outsole added to the bottom surface for enhanced stability.
The column of the heel is solid wood, but the bottom surface that steps on the ground is resilient rubber.
AMOMENTO's classic derby and classic maryjane lines use 'wooden heels', namely heels crafted from wood[1][2]. Generally, a wooden heel refers to a heel carved out of solid raw timber or compressed wood. Compared to hollow plastic heels, it has a higher density and weightily supports the load placed on the heel of the foot. Because the heel does not easily twist when walking, it reduces ankle wobbling and aids in a stable fit[3][4].
Just because it is a wooden heel does not mean it ends in wood all the way to the bottom. A 100% rubber material is applied across the entire outsole where the shoe directly makes contact with the ground[5][6][7]. It is structured so that the solid wood firmly supports the axis of the shoe, while the bottom rubber outsole improves grip to prevent slipping.
The specific wood species or processing method used for the wooden heel has not yet been confirmed in official materials.
