The truth is, with women's heels, many don't give what you might imagine. Its all to do with the pivot point of your foot. If you measure yourself barefoot and then go on your tip-toes, you'll probably find you can get close to 3 inches of height. So to get 4 inches of actual height you need a high angle shoe and a platform at the front that is at least 1 inch.



Here is a video talking about heel height in more detail...and also below this video are examples of how much actual height each type of heel size gives the average ladies foot.







Large Platform Heel: 10.8cm (4.25 inches)



The platform on this heel is a solid 1.5 inches. Black Platform Heel: 9.9cm (3.9 inches)



The platform on this heel is a 1.25 inch style. Wedge Platform Sandal: 8.8cm (3.47 inches)



The platform on this is around 1 and 3/8ths inch. Black/Silver Smaller Platform Heel : 8.4cm (3.3 inches)



The platform on this heel is in 0.6-0.7 inch range. Wine Suede Heel: 8cm (3.15 inches)



The platform on this heel is in 0.6 inch range. Light Pink Smaller Platform Heel : 7.7cm (3.03 inches)



The platform on this heel is in 0.5-0.6 inch range. Silver standard Heel: 7.35cm (2.9 inches)



The platform on this heel is a typical flat style around 0.3 inches. Red Boot : 6.6cm (2.6 inches)



The platform on this heel is in 0.5-0.6 inch range. Thigh Boot: 6.5cm (2.56 inches)



The platform on this boot is small, about 0.3 inch. Average Ladies Heel: 6.2cm (2.44 inches)



A typically average type of heel. Suede Wedge Boot: 6cm (2.36 inches)



The platform on this boot is around 0.5 inch. Black Boot: 6cm (2.36 inches)



An average boot size with barely any thickness at the front/platform area. Low-Medium Heel: 5.6cm (2.2 inches)



A heel that would be in the low-medium range. Small Heel: 5.1cm (2 inches)



An average boot size with barely any thickness at the front/platform area. Small Clarks Sandal: 4.8cm (1.9 inches)



A sandal that gives near enough 2 inches. Small Clear Sandal: 4.6cm (1.8 inches)



Example of heel that gives just under 2 inches. Thick Ladies Shoe: 4.3cm (1.7 inches)



An example of a shoe that gives nearly 1.75 inches in thickness. Low Ladies Heel: 4cm (1.57 inches)



Example of heel size that would give just over 1.5 inches of height. This page gives examples of different styles of women's heels/shoes and the actual height they give (rather than advertised height). I measured these heel heights using a girl with UK shoe size 5 and 6 (US Size 7). If you have bigger feet then you would typically get a few mm more for each example.The truth is, with women's heels, many don't give what you might imagine. Its all to do with the pivot point of your foot. If you measure yourself barefoot and then go on your tip-toes, you'll probably find you can get close to 3 inches of height. So to get 4 inches of actual height you need a high angle shoe and a platform at the front that is at least 1 inch.Here is a video talking about heel height in more detail...and also below this video are examples of how much actual height each type of heel size gives the average ladies foot.

Hi rob, thanks for your help. So around 12cm is the maximum height that those shoes would give? I was hoping to reach 5’11-6ft (A lot of people in my group are at 6ft or over in shoes, so I wanted as much help possible to get near to them, being 168-170cm!). Do you know heel height/platform size I would need for this please? Thanks again!

Editor Rob Editor Rob If you have a longer foot than normal, you might manage a bit more than 12cm. Like if US9 or something that range. 180 to 181 could then be the range you measure in.



If the platform part were over 7cm nearer 8, then 13-14 is very possible said on 17/Jun/20Hi rob, thanks for your help. So around 12cm is the maximum height that those shoes would give?

How much height a woman gains in these cases?



5 inch 2 inch platform 5'6

5 inch 2 inch platform 5'7

4 inch 1.5 inch platform 5'8 girl

3.5 inch, 1 inch platform 5'9 girl

3.5 inch, 1 inch platform 5'10 girl

Editor Rob Editor Rob



The 4 with 1.5 again anywhere between 3 up to 3.5.



But it also can depend on the length of the ladies feet.



Remember big Iona



So having a longer foot (Iona is I think 2.5 sizes bigger than Jenny) can mean you get a fraction more height from the same heel. The 5 inch with 2 inch platform could potentially give a 4.25 inch worth of height.The 4 with 1.5 again anywhere between 3 up to 3.5.But it also can depend on the length of the ladies feet.Remember big Iona Here managed to get a bit more than 4 inches from the exact same heel that Jenny wore and got just under 4 inches in.So having a longer foot (Iona is I think 2.5 sizes bigger than Jenny) can mean you get a fraction more height from the same heel. said on 25/Dec/19My question for ChristmasHow much height a woman gains in these cases?5 inch 2 inch platform 5'65 inch 2 inch platform 5'74 inch 1.5 inch platform 5'8 girl3.5 inch, 1 inch platform 5'9 girl3.5 inch, 1 inch platform 5'10 girl

I really think you underestimate the height added by heels because Jenny has size 5 feet.



My girlfriend, who wears size 10 and is a bigger girl bone wise, gets pretty close to the heel height.



We've both been measured at the doctor's office and I am legit 4 inches taller than her and when she wears 4 inch heels, we are the same height in the mirror. When she wears 7 inch stripper heels, she becomes about 3 inches taller than me.

Editor Rob Editor Rob I have mentioned before on this page about longer feet giving a little more than a shorter foot, but all feet have an ankle that doesn't pivot at the very back, but further forward.

Rob this could be a good scheme for a classic stiletto?

heel of 8 cm = makes 7-7.5 cm taller

10 cm = 8-8.5 cm taller

11.5 cm = 8.5-9 cm taller

12 cm = 9 cm taller

Hi Rob, I'm actually a guy but this seemed like the most appropriate place to post this for some reason... How much height would a 2cm heel give? Would it be bang on what's advertised, or slightly less?

Editor Rob Editor Rob the smaller the heel size, the closer to the actual height you will get. Unless the heel slopes like a straight line from the very back to the front...usually 2-3cm heels have the heel part that is kind of the same height all over and then the rest of the shoe slopes a little to the front part which is usually half as thick. said on 14/Mar/18Hi Rob, I'm actually a guy but this seemed like the most appropriate place to post this for some reason...

Hi again Rob, I think I've just figured out. Without any platforms, a girl can only increase her height maximum 7 cm. İn order to look 13-15 cm taller, 8 inch heel with 4 inch platform is a must I guess.



I've made a test with 3 books I set them together combined and their total lenght was 10cm ( 4 inches). I tried to ascend stand on my feet/finger as much as I could and I went from 1,68 (5'6) to 1,85 (6ft1) which is totally 17 cms (7 inches).



4 inches of platform heel or higher is a must in order to be taller like 13-15 cm or more. Do you think am I correct?

Editor Rob Editor Rob On your tip toes you might get 7cm or 2.75 inches, some women with longer feet could get 3 or a little more.



Of course to get big amounts you need the platform to be 2 or 3 inches.



I might do a video one day showing really big heels and how much they give Jenny, if she agrees. said on 19/Jan/18Hi again Rob, I think I've just figured out.

Hello Rob, I have 17 cm main heel with 7 cm platform in the front. Which means (7 inch main heel and 3 inches platform height)



I've just measured my height with these high heel shoes. I am 1,68 cm (5'6) and I only reached to 1,79-1,80 cm (5'10-5'11) with these high heels. it seems like a girl can only increase around 4 inches(10-12 cm) with highest heels.



its imposibble for me to see 1,83 cm. I am 1,68 cm barefeet. So I think I have to wear like 22-23cm back heel and 10-11 cm platform in order to reach to 1.83 cm. According to calculation.



I saw your comment on ''@dzeneta hamzic's question and she is 5'7 (170cm) and with 4 and 6 inch heel, How can she reach to 6ft1.5 (187cm)? Thats like 17 cm height increase.

@Rob: Do you know about how much those common type of slipper flats you see women wear add? I'm sure you know what I mean, but examples would be the type Sigourney Weaver wore in The Year of Living Dangerously, or what Serena Williams was wearing in the recent pics with Sly. Also, what about typical flat sandals? I was assuming the slipper type would add 1/4" range and the sandals maybe a bit more, but it'd be nice to know for sure. Thanks.

[Editor Rob: the ballet type slippers, some can be as thin as 1/4, but I've seen some with a bit of insole (and 1/8-1/4 on the tiny heel part) so it could be nearer to 1/2 inch.] said on 16/Aug/17@Rob: Do you know about how much those common type of slipper flats you see women wear add?

Thanks for the excellent video. Have you noticed if any manufacturers change a shoe's platform and heel heights between sizes? I have very long feet and I like the look of thick platforms, but wherever I find them in my size the proportions are way different. A 4" platform on a size 6 shoe looks chunky, boxy, and cute. A 4" platform on a size 11 shoe looks, well, not cute.

[Editor Rob: I have seen this sometimes in men's shoes, the heel on a size 10+ is slightly thicker than 9 and under.



But I can't remember if female heels will have any adjustments...since the moulds for each size are going to be a bit different, maybe they do adjust the height slightly, I will try to have a look at some styles in the future to confirm this!] said on 26/May/17Thanks for the excellent video.

Rob something has been lingering on my mind a lot today. So my date and I are going for dinner this weekend, and in elevators I measure at 177cm (near evening time) on the dot with great posture. I remember her saying she was "inbetween 5'5 and 5'6" and "she looks shorter on different days". Now I'm obviously not going to ask her to get a tape measure out and measure herself, but im just a little worried that I dont want her to be taller than me in heels. It's a date so she will definitely be wearing heels but like i said, i really hope shes shorter or even a tad bit shorter. What are your thoughts? Even with big heels (which i hope she doesnt end up wearing) do you think she'll end up taller, or will things like evening height and posture come into play and I turn out to be taller haha



Thanks a lot rob, you've always been ever so helpful !

[Editor Rob: tiny, if she wears a heel with a 1-inch platform and a decent sized stem she might be eye to eye. If a normal 3-3.5 inch style (giving 2.75-3 inches) then she may look a bit shorter than yourself. ] said on 7/Nov/16Rob something has been lingering on my mind a lot today.

Rob just a question. I'm 21 years old, going to uni this year. Not really the social type but hoping to start going out more and enjoying my youth. I wanted to ask you what you think the average girl my age wears in terms of heels. A 4 inch heel? 4 inch 1 inch platform? 5 inch 1 inch platform? What type of heel do u reckon the average girl wears on a night out. I am exatcly 5'9.65 standing my tallest with great posture btw.



Thanks a lot rob and much blessings upon you!

[Editor Rob: I think there is still a trend for bigger heels, at clubs and parties, a 1 inch platform and 4-4.5 inch stem style is quite common, I think the average is going to be at least giving 3-3.5 inch range of actual height. ] said on 6/Nov/16Rob just a question.

4 inch, no platform

5 inch, 1 inch platform

5 inch, 2 inch platform

6 inch, no platform

thank you ever so much Rob!

[Editor Rob:

the bigger foot (10) would give a little more than say a size 4 would.



but on average this is the kind of range I'd expect when measuring a girl with size 6-7 in heels described as those you said.



4 inch, no platform : 3-3.1

4 inch, 1 inch platform 3.2-3.3

4 inch, 2 inch platform 3.3-3.5

5 inch, no platform 3.7-3.8

5 inch, 1 inch platform 3.8-4

5 inch, 2 inch platform 3.9-4.2

6 inch, no platform 4-4.1

6 inch, 1 inch platform 4.1-4.3

6 inch, 2 inch platform 4.3-4.5



the extra inch in the platform won't make that much a difference compared to the 1 inch, like 1/8th range

Hi. I have height of 5.4 ..but I m still confusing whethr I have to wear heel or not.? Plz suggest me. Which type of heel is suitable fr my personality

[Editor Rob: if you want to look tall, then a platform heel with 1.5 inches will give you a considerable boost and many women wear heels of course because it alters the shape of your legs, makes them a bit longer and tones the muscle around the thigs/calf and locks your knees a bit more.



But if you want to get just a bit of a boost and not be in too much pain wearing them, then go for a flatter style up to 3 inches.



I would always recommend buying little gel heel pads (cheap on ebay or amazon) and use those at the back of heels so you don't end up with damaged ankles.] said on 18/Jul/16Hi.

I am a high heel aficionado---on women of course!! When we first met my wife wore the heights I admire, up to 5 inches. I measure from the bottom of the spike to the exact point where heel meets sole, using a truly vertical ruler. To me this is absolute accuracy.



Now she can only wear heels at work and rarely above 3 inches(again by my system), doffing them as soon as she gets home and complaining loudly of pain, every day it seems.



She insists it's the height that has caused her the bunions of agony. But I believe it is the width of the standard toe box that is the true culprit---all are made same, one size for all. To me she has "unusual" feet. Though fitting a standard size 7 in length, her balls spanning the toe spread are noticeably wider in ratio. So her feet look squarish rather than oval. So over the years that part has been squeezed harder for her than for any other woman of size 7.



For Christmas I bought her a pair of near 6" stilettoes---with 2" platforms. Then I drew an outline of her toes while she was sleeping. First I had a shoe store widen them with a special process. The clerk said they were limited by the vinyl material and the stiff attachment of it to the solid wood platform. So next I bought some reverse pliers and forced the box more, leaving a "plug" in place without elastic bands overnight. I even bought shoe "fascinators" to cover the slit I made to get even more space.



All to no avail. My wife could barely get one shoe on and said she'd never walk in them. Not even in bed!! Of course she flatly said it was just the height. I had to "concede"......for then.



But I still think I could design a shoe with a 5 inch heel, 2 inch platform, and a custom wider toe box that would look sexy AND feel comfortable for her.



What do you think??

The high heel shoe will add roughly how ever much height is on the shoes' heels because that's how far it brings the heel of your foot off of the ground. So, if you are 5'8" and wear about 4 inches heels, then you are going to be about six feet-tall. I don't know where Rob and some of these others got the pseudo-scientific idea that the shoe does not really near as much height as the the heel measures, but it just isn't true. [Editor Rob: This heel is called a 5.25 because that is the highest measurement at the back. Many companies describe their heels with the measurement of the highest point. The ankle acts as the pivot point (not the very back of your foot). For instance the Wine Suede heel and Light Pink shoes on this page were both described and sold as 4 inch heels, but they give 3-3.2 inch range of actual height. Here's another Click Here . That heel was a 4-inch heel and it gives the person wearing an actual height of 3 and 1/8th inch. said on 4/Apr/16The high heel shoe will add roughly how ever much height is on the shoes' heels because that's how far it brings the heel of your foot off of the ground.

Rob, obviously you wouldn't have much personal experience with this, but what is your impression of the size at which heels become particularly uncomfortable for women? My understanding is that when women complain about heels being agonizingly painful, they're usually referring specifically to the kind that add 2.75-3.0 inches or more. Would you agree? [Editor Rob: when they push you up close to your natural maximum tip-toe tilt, that's when the greatest stresses are on feet, ankles. A lower heel in 1.5-2 won't give as much problems compared to that nearly 3 inch zone. But it can also depend on the comfort of the heel, whether there is padding on the soles, which might alleviate. I'd always recommend a women to use heels sparingly.] said on 25/Mar/16Rob, obviously you wouldn't have much personal experience with this, but what is your impression of the size at which heels become particularly uncomfortable for women?

Yes. Ah ha we are an adventurous couple. He isn't intimidated by the thought of me being taller. I've never looked into taller heels honestly, but wasn't sure if it was possible to be taller like that. @Rob 7-8 inches seems kind of massive I'll probably aim between 5-6. Thank you so much though.

plus said on 16/Mar/16

Hi Rob! I know a person who is on her tip toes 11 cm taller, so she gains the exact quantity of the heel. How common is this?? so after that, this study is based on the average person with 6-7-8 cm on
