"heel (part of a foot)" is in LA and M.

"/heel (of a sock)" is in various dicts, including LA and M.

------------------------------

Dicts also say "heel (of a shoe)", however I believe this is incorrect.
I say: the heel of a shoe is called 鞋跟, not 后跟.

The heel of a shoe is on the *bottom* of a shoe, as shown in the following picture:

That picture also shows the "counter" of a shoe, which is at the *back* of a shoe, *above* the heel.
And I believe 后跟 refers to the counter.
Here is my evidence:

1) Article titled 踩鞋后跟是怎么流行的,这样的穿法你是否接受?
The pics show people wearing shoes, squashing down the counters of their shoes.

Here's a definition of "counter":
"The piece of a shoe or a boot around the heel of the foot (above the heel of the shoe/boot)"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/counter
That describes the part of the shoe that these people are squashing down.

Here's another image that shows the counter of a shoe:

3) The Baike article on 豆豆鞋 says:
豆豆鞋的由来,源自其鞋底和鞋后跟上的133颗橡胶小粒,就像是一颗颗的小豆豆。
If you look closely at the shoes, you can see the "pebbles" are on the *sole* and the *counter* (鞋底和鞋后跟).
