Always appears as 'high heels' in the plural, even for a single pair. Use 'a pair of high heels' when referring to one item. The phrase can also refer to any shoe with a raised heel (including men's boots or fashion styles such as cuban or block heels), but in everyday conversation it almost always means women's dress shoes with a thin, tall heel.
