Heelprint

/ˈhiːlˌprɪnt/ noun

Definition

The mark or impression left by a heel on a surface, similar to a footprint but focused on the heel area.

Kelly Says

Crime scene investigators study heelprints because the heel's concentrated pressure creates a unique imprint pattern—more distinctive than a full footprint!
