What are these things called?

These small metal or rubber pieces were once commonly attached to the heels of shoes to prevent wear and tear.
Heel taps are protective coverings that attach to the back portion of the shoe’s heel. Their primary purpose was to reduce wear and extend the lifespan of shoes, especially when shoes were a bigger investment, made from leather or other high-quality materials. These little additions helped preserve the heel’s structure, particularly on hard surfaces like concrete.
Why Are They Rare Today?
Heel taps are not as commonly used anymore, as modern footwear has evolved with built-in reinforcement for heels. Additionally, fast fashion and more affordable footwear options mean people are less likely to repair their shoes and more likely to simply replace them.

The humor behind the caption lies in the fact that recognizing these objects signifies a certain era—if you know what they are, chances are you’ve either worn them yourself or seen them on your parents’ or grandparents’ shoes. It’s a light-hearted nod to the generational gap, suggesting that someone unfamiliar with heel taps might be part of a younger generation that didn’t experience their widespread use.
Conclusion
So remember, boys—if she doesn’t know what these are, it’s not a bad thing! The playful joke highlights the fun differences between generations and is a reminder of how much things change, even in something as simple as shoe accessories.
