1. (regional, chiefly northern and central Germany) heel (of the foot or shoe)

   Synonym: Ferse

• There is now a tendency to use Hacke especially for the back of the shoe (i.e. that part which is around the heel of the foot), whereas the body part is more often called Ferse even in the north. Such use may include or exclude the sole of a high-heeled shoe (Absatz). In the south the word is rare in either sense.
