Clear heels are heels made from a transparent material. They may be used to contain novelty items such as flashing lights, liquids or even fish. Alternatively the transparency may be used deceptively with a ballerina style to give the flattering appearance of standing on tiptoe or en pointe.

The style may be used to evoke Cinderella's glass slipper when worn at a formal ball such as a prom. As high heels, the style may be overtly erotic and they are worn by pole dancers, striptease artistes and pornographic actresses. Pole dancers like heels of four to six inches in length.

Popular brands include Pleaser and Luscious.

Notable wearers

• John Fuqua
• Prince
