This is an old term dating back at least 100 years. My grandmother from Eastern Texas used it quite often to describe an uncouth person. I believe it refers to persons who probably didn't have an out-house or toilet, then when they dropped their pants and stooped down to evacuate their bowels, they would sometime hit the back of their shoes or boots. Of course, they probably just as often hit their pants.

Anything that is on your heel is not a good thing so when you have shit on your heel thats a bad situation or a bad place to be, a horse stable.

This term was originally made for horseback "riders" who had the wrong type of boot. The boots that you're supposed to use with horseback riding have heels that stick straight down rather than caving inwards like accessory boots. The term "shit heel" talks about those people; they're not real riders. The people who knew how to ride and how to dress when riding call those people "Shit heels", mostly because they're usually assholes.
