The heel is hollow 1/12/2C with an aperture 1/12/23/3D in the base that allows air to travel in and out to enhance the click of the heel during dance movements. The aperture or wall thickness can be enlarged or minimised to provide a different click effects eg. sharper or duller sounds. The heels may be made from ferrous or non-ferrous materials that are very light in weight to allow dancers to enhance their performance.
