Ppjames12 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I'm 6.2 without heels feel v tall when I have my 6 inch heels on We are all hear fir the same reason HEELS!!!
jazzymj Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 I'm 5'9" and all my heels are seven inches or taller, so it's really noticeable to all my friends and neighbors when I'm in them. -MJ
trev5457 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Im about 5'7 but the excileration from wearing heels far out weighs the difference in height for me
shoe-ca Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 6'4 without... which sometimes makes me a bit self conscious when in heels... how tall is too tall? ah well, lots of leg to show for it
Bubba136 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 5' 10" for me, too..... Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Tacchi Alti Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 About 5'8". BTW, a six-inch heel doesn't make you six inches taller. It's generally no more than half that, depending on foot size. 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
Majo Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 That's correct Tacchi Alti. It depends on the size of your foot and, eventually if there is a platform, that adds up too. On the other hand; did you know that at rising you are taller than at evening? In my case the difference is around 2.0cm. 177/78 in when I get up and 175.5 when I go to bed. Same happens to my wife. She is 173 and shrinks to 171.
Steve63130 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I have the same observation in a different dimension. My pants fit ok in the morning but not after supper! LOL Steve
Majo Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Well, Steve, I loose between 0.7 and 1kg (1.1 and 2 pounds) during sleep depending on how well I sleep, and what I had to eat for supper.
Steve63130 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 So if I just sleep continuously for the next week, I could fit back into some of my old pants that have shrunk just hanging in the closet! Steve
Tacchi Alti Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 <Chuckle> The mass has all got to go somewhere, I suppose. Perhaps without tight trousers we'd be even shorter at the end of the day. Anyway, perhaps this isn't the best thread to have a protracted conversation. I just thought I'd throw that bit of useless information in, as the only way a six-inch heel would give a six-inch lift is if there were also a six-inch platform. I don't think that's quite what most users of this forum would choose. I've been lurking for ages, by the way. Perhaps I should be more active in other topics.

Shafted Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I just thought I'd throw that bit of useless information in, as the only way a six-inch heel would give a six-inch lift is if there were also a six-inch platform. I don't think that's quite what most users of this forum would choose. I have to totally disagree with this statement. While a 6 inch heel won't give you a 6 inch lift (it's probably more like 4 inches). Amount of lift per inch of heel goes down with each inch of additional heel height. It's based on the physics of vectors. A 2 inch platform should be more than enough to bring the total lift to 6 inches. Shafted, the boots that is!

Tacchi Alti Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 If you have very large feet, you might get a four-inch lift, but I have size 8 (UK) feet and I've measured it. The maximum lift is the distance between your big toe and ankle joints minus the barefoot difference in height off the floor of the ankle joint in comparison with the big toe joint. In my case it's roughly 3 inches, slightly less if anything. I'm sure someone could come up with all sorts of other complicated factors which might affect the exact measurement, like increased curve of foot altering the toe - ankle measurement, difference in spine profile in heels, etc! As I say, in my case I've measured it. Obviously a platform sole will increase the lift but that wasn't my main point. A two inch platform with a six inch heel would increase your height by slightly more than two inches above the lift of a six inch heel with no platform, due to the decreased foot angle above horizontal. In other words it would be a four-inch-heel lift plus two inches. There is very little difference in height increase with six inch heels with no platform rather than four inch heels with no platform. It's just that the six inchers are more fun. I don't wear heels to increase my height, I wear them because I love the feeling of being perched up on my toes, every step a fresh challenge, particularly outdoors on a slope or uneven ground... My wife tries to push me off balance but is amazed how seldom she is able to do it! 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
stw8 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 5 feet, 3 inches I'm with you on that one ...at least I fall in a common heel size
dingpat Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I am 6' wear size 13 heels, hard to find I'm in the same boat as you, but I'm 6'4"! way too tall for heels in public.
Stiletto69 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I'm 6'6" and wear size 48EU/17US - even harder to find :-( But I like heels, especially spiked heels, and would wear them in public if only I have enough courage...
