GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Hakenabsatz
English translation:hooked heel

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / shoe making
German term or phrase: Hakenabsatz
Legende zur Abbildung eines Bergschuhs, neben dem Absatz steht "Hakenabsatz". Keine weitere Beschreibung, kein anderer Kontext.
Der Absatz des Schuhs "verläuft" nicht in den vorderen Teil der Sohle, sondern die Vorderseite des Absatzes ist rechtwinkelig. Schwer zu erklären ohne Foto, sorry.
Wenn ich "hook heel" google, bekomme ich fast nur Anleitungen für eine Art Square dance.

danke - die Fotos zeigen zwar bei weitem keine Bergschuhe, aber ich nehme an, die Üb. passt trotzdem, weil die Form des Absatzes stimmt (nur halt die Höhe nicht ;-))
