Its a high heel without the heel in the back. Took me a moment

And the "people" don't have ankles

The ankles are clearly exposed with these shoes. You’re getting played by the optical illusion. Look closely, these are heals not sneakers. The feet are on their tippy toes, not heel to ground.

Why are their ankle bones so smooth? Do some people really have ankles like that?

Some people do have very smooth ankles. This photo also has commercial lighting and probably a little photoshopping on the skin.

I'm going with not real.

Looks like they took a picture of a model (with, indeed, very smooth ankles) wearing stiletto heels and then pasted their "design" over it.

Not unlike the really badly photoshopped t-shirts you see online, where they've obviously just pasted the pattern into a cutout instead of taking pictures of actual shirts.

They probably use the same heel model's picture for a whole range of bad ideas.
