Imagine walking in high heels and feeling the pressure on your heel. The word sounds like 'kakato' — think of a 'cactus' poking your heel as you walk. 'Cactus' → かかと (kakato, 'shoe heel').
Cultural Note
In Japan, shoes are often removed indoors, so the heel of a shoe is less visible inside homes. However, shoe heels are important in fashion, especially for formal wear or business attire.
