I agree my explaination was over simplified, but not all boots and shoes in that era were the same, lots of styles varied
like this incredible pair again from the 1910-20's
these sold on ebay a little while ago
which have a much lower and broader heel, these are probably 20's because the button boot interest died down in the 30's and restricted them to less everyday wear
and check out these that sold on etsy a while ago

these look much like mine (but in better shape)
and they are dated 1898
the shoes you have were probably a little more expensive and dressy in their day which would have had the more elegant small heel, i'm guessing mine are a little more middle-class and less elegant
