Unfashionably called SAUSAGE HEEL, it was actually named “On A Roll”, one of the many clever designs concocted by Beth Levine. The heel is made of kidskin rolled into a tight spiral while the vamp was available in leather or velveteen fabrics as seen in these - rarely - noticed pictures in LIFE magazine.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
The Metropolitan Museum of Art owns two pairs of Levine’s “On A Roll” (the first dated circa 1962, the second 1962), while the Bata Shoe Museum owns one (dated 1950’s).
Linda O'Keffe's "Shoes" missed the mark by ten year (1954, page 114).
