Just polygons and subdivision surfaces.  Started with a plane (quad) 
scaled and loop cut it until getting quite a few lateral vertices that I 
moved around a bit until getting it to take the form of a foot.  Then 
extruded it up to give it some volume, extruded again the top faces and 
scaled them a bit so as to leave border faces, which I them selected and 
extruded up and pushed edges here and there until for the front and 
back.  Later I pushed the back faces up with some proportional editing 
on to give the high heel height. :)  And then, extruded the bottom to 
make the heel proper (too bulky in this one, got that a bit better 
later).  Lots of minor tweakings too...

fruits... :P
