# High Heels Wildcard Pack
In my opinion, great shoes, particularly high heels, make the difference between a stunning photo and a "meh" one.
I've built out a set of eight wildcard files for generating varied, specific high-heeled footwear. Each file covers one independent attribute, so you can compose exactly as much detail as you want — from a two-word shoe to a fully specified one. These work best in advanced models like Krea2 but can work for anything
Works in SwarmUI, A1111 (Dynamic Prompts), and ComfyUI (Dynamic Prompts / Impact Pack). The files are plain text, one option per line, with no nested references — fully standalone, no dependencies on any other wildcard files.
## The files
heels_type | The heel shape itself (stiletto, block, wedge, cone…)
heels_platform | Platform sole, if any — mostly rolls "no platform"
heels_style | The shoe silhouette (pumps, sandals, mules, slingbacks…)
heels_toe | Toe shape, open or closed
heels_material | What it's made of (patent, suede, satin, snakeskin…)
heels_color | Colour
heels_embellishment | Straps, jewels, bows, studs — mostly rolls "no embellishment"
heels_condition | Wear and tear — mostly rolls "pristine"
heels_platform, heels_embellishment, and heels_condition deliberately include repeated "none" entries so most rolls come out clean and unadorned. Add or remove those lines to change how often they fire.
## Installation
Drop the .txt files into your wildcards folder:
- SwarmUI — Data/Wildcards/
- A1111 — extensions/sd-dynamic-prompts/wildcards/
- ComfyUI — depends on your node pack; commonly ComfyUI/wildcards/ or the Impact Pack's wildcards folder
## Syntax
SwarmUI uses angle brackets; A1111 and ComfyUI use double underscores.
- SwarmUI: <wildcard:heels_type>
- A1111 / ComfyUI: __heels_type__
Every example below is given in both.
## Composition
Word order matters. This sequence reads naturally and gives the best results:
condition → color → material → toe → type → style → with platform / embellishment
You do not need all of them. Three or four is usually plenty.
Some examples:
### Minimal (colour + material + heel + shoe)
```
<wildcard:heels_color> <wildcard:heels_material> <wildcard:heels_type> <wildcard:heels_style>
```
```
__heels_color__ __heels_material__ __heels_type__ __heels_style__
```
→ red patent leather stiletto pumps
### Standard (adds toe shape)
```
<wildcard:heels_color> <wildcard:heels_material> <wildcard:heels_toe> <wildcard:heels_type> <wildcard:heels_style>
```
```
__heels_color__ __heels_material__ __heels_toe__ __heels_type__ __heels_style__
```
→ black suede pointed-toe stiletto pumps
### With embellishment
```
<wildcard:heels_color> <wildcard:heels_material> <wildcard:heels_type> <wildcard:heels_style> with <wildcard:heels_embellishment>
```
```
__heels_color__ __heels_material__ __heels_type__ __heels_style__ with __heels_embellishment__
```
→ nude satin block heel ankle-strap sandals with a delicate ankle strap
### Full stack
```
<wildcard:heels_condition> <wildcard:heels_color> <wildcard:heels_material> <wildcard:heels_toe> <wildcard:heels_type> <wildcard:heels_style> with <wildcard:heels_platform> and <wildcard:heels_embellishment>
```
```
__heels_condition__ __heels_color__ __heels_material__ __heels_toe__ __heels_type__ __heels_style__ with __heels_platform__ and __heels_embellishment__
```
→ lightly worn cobalt blue patent leather square-toe wedge sandals with a thick platform sole and a knotted strap detail
A warning about the full stack: seven or eight stacked modifiers on one noun is a lot, and most models start quietly dropping the least concrete ones — usually toe shape or condition. If details are going missing, drop back to four or five axes rather than pushing harder. Also as you add more wildcards to a particular part of the image (in this case, the footwear), the model can put more and more overall focus on that element and drown out other parts of the image.
### Dropping one into a scene
```
A full-body fashion photo of a woman standing on a city street, wearing <wildcard:heels_color> <wildcard:heels_material> <wildcard:heels_type> <wildcard:heels_style>, ...
```
```
A full-body fashion photo of a woman standing on a city street, wearing __heels_color__ __heels_material__ __heels_type__ __heels_style__, ...
```
Heels only render well when the feet are actually in frame and large enough to resolve — full-body or lower-body framing. In a portrait or waist-up shot, the detail is wasted.
## Known clashes
These files roll independently, so a small number of combinations are physically odd. None will break a generation; they just occasionally look strange. Listed so you know what you're seeing.
- Wedge or platform + d'orsay — a d'orsay has a cut-away arch, which a solid wedge sole can't have.
- Wedge + pointed court styles — wedges are a heel and a sole, so they suit sandals and espadrilles better.
- *heels_toe vs. an already-defined style** — "peep-toe" against closed court shoes, or "closed-toe" against strappy sandals or thong sandals. The style usually wins. If you want guaranteed coherence, drop heels_toe when using open sandal styles.
- Clear PVC / lucite + embellishment-heavy rolls — transparent uppers and heavy jewelling can fight each other visually.
- Espadrille wedges + patent leather or metallic — espadrilles are canvas-and-rope by nature.
- Heeled loafers / oxfords + open-toe or peep-toe — those are closed shoes.
- Kitten heel + a thick platform — technically possible, rarely made.
If a particular clash bothers you, the simplest fix is deleting the offending line from whichever file — these are plain text and safe to edit.

## Tips
- For consistent results across a batch, fix the axes you care about and only wildcard the rest. Hardcoding "black" and wildcarding material and style gives you a coherent set of black shoes in varied designs.
- *heels_condition is for realism** — scuffed, worn-in shoes read as real photography; pristine ones read as product shots or editorial. Most rolls are pristine by design.
- *heels_material doubles as pattern** — snakeskin, leopard calf hair, and python-print are in there, so you don't need a separate pattern file.
- All files are safe to edit. Delete lines you don't want, duplicate lines you want more often — duplication is how you weight a wildcard.
