Morphology

heeled = heel (transparent) = heel + ed

Standard adjectival formation from the noun 'heel' with '-ed' meaning 'having a heel' and is easily inferable by learners.

Etymology

Heeled comes from the word heel, the back part of the foot, and the ending -ed that means 'having'. So a heeled shoe is 'having' a heel, often a raised back that lifts the foot.
