In a traditional quinceañera, the father often gives the celebrant a pair of high heels during the shoe ceremony.

The custom is commonly called the changing of the shoes. The celebrant may begin in flat shoes and then change into high heels, symbolizing a movement from childhood toward young womanhood. A parent or another family member may perform the change.

This question concerns what is given during the ceremony, not what childhood item is replaced; those are related but distinct details. The order and participants can differ, and some families do not include the ritual.

High heels are symbolic rather than a legal or religious requirement. Modern celebrations may adapt the footwear to comfort, safety, fashion, or cultural preference.
