There is a lot of confusion concerning the height of a heel. Some shoe manufactures identify the height of the heel from the top of the heel to the tip of the heel, shown in the picture above as dimensions "A". Others measure the heel height from the top of the instep to the tip of the heel, shown in the picture above as dimensions "B".

We will identify the height of the heel as the height from the top of the instep to the tip of the heel, shown in the picture above as dimensions "B".

Wearing high heel takes strong calf muscles. To increase the strength of your calf muscles start off by wearing our new high heels for a short time. You can also exercise your calf muscles by placing the ball of your feet on a bathroom scale with your heel on the floor. Lift yourself up onto the balls of your feet. Don't over do this. No pain is the best way to gain. And as with any new exercise program, it is best to ask your doctor first.
