Morphology
kitten + heel
The compound uses 'kitten' metaphorically to indicate smallness/delicacy combined with 'heel', so a learner who knows the words can infer it denotes a small, dainty shoe heel. However, the precise stylistic sense and conventional height/detail are conventionalized and not fully predictable from the parts alone.
Etymology
Kitten heel comes from a small shoe style made for young actresses learning to wear heels; the shoe had a very small, thin heel like a kitten's little paw. So, kitten heels now mean low, narrow heels that give a little height but stay comfortable.
