Chris says..."I have to correct something. It's a mistake almost everyone makes, men AND women. Sometimes it seems like I'm the only one who knows the truth LOL Regarding heels.... a 4 inch heel (measured at the back of the heel like the manufacturer does) does NOT add 4 inches to your standing height. Not even close. It adds more like 2 3/4 inches. I've done the measurements with a girlfriend and several height of heels. Try it yourself ! Have someone measure you very accurately, standing barefoot or in stockings against a wall. Now put on various heights of heels and have them measure you. I guarantee you'll be shocked. The higher the heel, the more the difference ! My girl had a pair of 5 inch heels, we measured her in them, they added exactly 3 1/2 inches to her standing height"
So when someone wears a 1 inch heel they stay the same height????????

Hi. Chris here. No, wearing a 1 inch heel (measured at the back of the shoe) will not mean you are the same standing height as barefoot...but it won't make you 1 inch taller either. It's about 75% of the heel height (at the rear of the shoe) that's added to your standing height. So if the heel is 1 inch at the back of the shoe, it'll add roughly 3/4 of an inch to your height over barefoot. A 2 inch heel adds about 1 1/2 inches, etc.... Most 4 inch heels (unless they have a big platform in front) add less than 3 inches to standing height. Try it yourself and have someone measure you accuratey, you'll see for yourself !
