Heel shape is where the the neck attaches to the body.
The standard heel is just the square type
and the comfort heel has a slope on it so its easier to reach the upper frets.
If you look at Warmoth site you can see pics on there

The rounded heel on a strat is a custom option.It usually has a square heel.
