Heel - Heel (English spelling)
It is also called the "hip" or "hip". It is the rear part of the sole of the foot, but its border is not clearly defined. When standing upright, most of the body weight is placed on this part. Inside is the calcaneus, and its surface is covered with thick, tough skin. This skin has a particularly thick layer of subcutaneous fat, which acts as a shock-absorbing cushion. The epidermis is also the thickest of the entire body. Foot [Tsunetaro Fujita]

Japanese:
〈くびす〉〈きびす〉ともいう。足の裏の後部のことであるが,その境界ははっきりしてはいない。直立すると,体重はほとんどこの部分にかかる。内部には踵骨(しようこつ)があり,その表面は厚いじょうぶな皮膚でおおわれている。この皮膚は皮下脂肪層がとくに厚くて,緩衝用のクッションをなしている。表皮も全身のうちで最も厚い。足【藤田 恒太郎】
