How Tall Are You Without Heels - Take II

[leyland1]

I am 5'10" and 17 stone, but when I get my 3in GoGo boots I shall be 6'1" so I don't think I'm too tall for heels.

[WhyNotMenToo]

Yes I'm pushing it with high heels but I love them so.

[Tierney]

tierney, i have the same body style. it doesn't help what i have going on in my head. very frustrating. would love to go on outings.

[PetiteMale]

I'm 5 foot, 3 inches tall barefoot.

[crossfire238]

5' 11" but still love my 5" heels!!

[NICHOLAUS]

Well I'm at six feet four inches without shoes tall, and when I have on my highest heels I'm six feet eight inches. These I have not yet worn in the eyes off the public. I will wear my three inch heels out though. One inch seem to be a mental barrier for me.

I used to curse my height at 5' 8.5" (173cm) as I used to play football in high school, mostly free safety and quarterback, but now I have this shorter-than-average American stature to be a blessing since I have a great sense of balance and a six-inch heel only makes me 6' 2.5" (188cm) tall. So, it worked out in the end!! HappyinHeels

I'm 5'10" tall and wear a US woman's size 10 or 10½ shoes. I'm quite comfortable with my height and foot size. I've never thought of my height or stature as being either too tall or too short and I've never had a problem finding woman's shoes. At 55 years old (next birthday), and, having been married since I was 19, it has never been an issue one way or the other to me or anyone that I know:online2long:.

I mean this sincerely, congratulations to you. Your perspective is refreshing and I congratulate you on your marriage. And if it's any consolation, you are taller than I am (I'm 5' 9") and I wear either size 11 or 12 in a woman's shoe and those are a little harder to find. Please keep your posts coming.

I am 5' 8" tall, when I put my boots on it boosts me to a towering 6' 2. Nice thing is that my little feet slide into a ladies size 11. I have been asked how the heck do you walk in heels. Well I have had to use balance in my life and walking in heels was second nature. I in my youth was able to back flip in 6 inch heels and stick the landing.

How about 5'9" and a womens size 10 for the most part. I have size 9's too. Not that flexible. Very tight muscle structure. Couldn't touch my toes to save my life. Funny thing I discovered is that it's easier for me to do this in 4" heels. Had I known my leg muscle structure is perfect for heels 30 years ago - - well - - things would have been different today.

Between 5'8" and 5'9", uk size 7 shoes,

Not quite. The first few inches/centimeters you can add but after that the extra

height in your heels pushes your foot more forward than up. You could try to measure

this yourself. The first time I did this, it was quite a disappointment.

There have been some threads in the past where this was explained in detail.

Hmm, has probably been pointed out before, but some intervals are missing, e.g. 6'0"-6'1", where I incidentally would fit in... I would be almost 6'9" (or 2.05) in my highest platforms then :-)

You're probably right...I was just guessing, but I bet I'm not too far off.

Generally, if you look at anyone's foot in a high heeled shoe, the added height will be roughly the distance from the top of the arch of the bottom of the foot to the ground which is typically quite a ways down from the top of the heel itself.

5' 9" and some change.

[tallguyinheels]

the quick note is that you start with the pivot point (your ankle) already at about 3 inches high flat footed. As you pivot up you start with an increase at about 75% the heel height and then as you go past a couple inches of heel lift you get less and less retun on your "investment" with a size 15 stilleto - a heel height of 5 inches gives me 3.3 inches more at the top of my head. Platform height can be added directly however.

[scrappycoco]

Me I'm 5'6" without heels. That I think is why I love to wear them so much.

[ChipsHH]

Believe I said something before, but I'm 5'8" without heels, 6'4" with my highest heels. So I Could go out in my 8-inch heels, no problem And get compliments for being tall?

If my math is right, you wear 8" heels! ???

[1234tazzer]

Last check 5'11. 6' 3" with heels. Love it.:-)))

6'3" barefoot. Wearing heels make me stand head above most people.

[MySpikes]

5'9" with no shoes, making me just around 6' in in my size 9 1/2 heels. Can't really complain about either...

[DQNTSS]
