We will tell you how to determine the most comfortable and safe heel height for the foot.

Spring is the time of flying skirts and feminine heels! So you began to notice with surprise that your colleague Olya, as if nothing had happened, spends the whole day on 10-centimeter stilettos, and you can hardly cope with low "glasses". There is no time for new shoes!

For example, sitting on the floor and freely placing your foot against a cabinet or wall. Then you slide so far forward that the football also touches the closet. The difference between the closet and the heel results in heel growth. But regardless of whether this seemingly not-so-serious calculation method is correct or not, the most important factor remains the question of whether you can work with established paragraphs at all and whether you can find shoes that are appropriately comfortable. Because it's not just height that's important.

But who's interested in these little side effects? The height of 3.5 cm is mostly invisible and therefore very comfortable to wear. This area rises up to 6 cm in height, with the result that there are already minor problems if you have to go down the expressway. In addition, there is a closure on the back of the foot, which holds the shoe securely on the foot and as a real natural leather.

But what if there is a magic number that represents the ideal height of heels that you can walk in all day without pain or discomfort? Let's try to define together.

Theory

Depending on many individual factors (height, shape, flexibility, etc.), each foot has a certain natural angle of inclination. It is he who determines the maximum heel height that will be comfortable for you personally.

It only has one particular drawback: Velcro closure, stocking killer. Slightly different wearing feel - with tapered heels. Here, a larger footprint provides best contact with the ground. The downside here, however, is the extra heel weight, which can be a problem. For example, in these Gabor shoes.

Please comment on this report.

  • So far, I have not had any problems with porting.
  • You must be careful to find the correct size and order.
  • If they are chosen correctly, you can have fun! - Simon.
Elegant, sexy and morbid! it The best way describe the very popular high heels. Bad moves and pains in the legs are now the problems of yesterday. Because two different methods should help us determine the individual height of each woman.

Doctors say that heels with heights from 2 to 4 cm are most useful for the foot.There is also a special formula for determining the height of an everyday heel: the length of the foot divided by 7.

For example, for a foot size 38 (24.5 cm), the correct heel height is 3.5 cm.

There is another more complicated formula for calculating the heel height for "hiking" shoes:

High heels are blessings and nightmares at the same time!

No matter husband or wife, everyone is delighted with them. High heels make the wearer look bigger, the gait is more graceful, more elegant and promotes better posture. A straight walk makes the female world more attractive and self-confident. Unfortunately, these positive characteristics only start from a height of 7 cm. High heels look sexy, but walking is nothing but sexy for the wearer. Painful, swollen legs that struggle to hold onto wobbly stilts, and possibly also.

1. Height (in centimeters) must be divided by leg length (measured from the outside of the thigh, from the "tubercle" of the femur to the floor).
2. Subtract 1.61 from the resulting number (this is the coefficient of the ideal ratio of height and leg length).
3. Multiply the result by 10.
4. We get the height of the everyday heel in centimeters.

With a height of 164 cm and a leg length of 84 cm, the heel height will turn out to be 3.4 cm.

Presumably, there is a method that, simply by measuring the legs, should determine the optimal height for each woman. Thus, the orthopedic surgeon is convinced that every woman has a personal heel height that is most comfortable for her. To do this, you only need to draw an imaginary line with your toe above the bale and measure the distance to the heel. This difference should be the optimum height.

This can be easily measured at home. Just sit barefoot on the floor, lightly press your foot against the wall until your foot touches the wall. Now measure the distance between your heel and the wall and your custom height will be complete. But there is another way to find the “most comfortable” height with high heels. British physicists have developed their own.

We measure

To find out your maximum height comfortable heel Exit, follow these instructions:

1. Sit on a chair.
2. Extend one leg forward.
3. Do not try to stretch your toe, relax your ankle and foot.
4. Have someone measure the distance between your heel and the ball of your foot.
5. This is the very "natural slope" of the foot, which is equal to the comfortable height of the heel.

At first glance, the formula looks somewhat complicated and confusing, but after brief explanation it makes a lot more sense. Just do a self-test, you will feel more comfortable as a result. You can tell us which version you prefer. By the way, we Germans, unfortunately, are only in the back third of the market.

So now you know how a woman can calculate her correct and tailored heel height. Have fun measuring, testing and perfecting! 🙂. For many years, pumps and above all high heels were considered harmful to their feet and therefore to the health of the wearer. This, fortunately, has been disproved. But not every height suits women equally. Calculate your perfect height, daze and do something good for your self-confidence.

If no one is around

1. If you have no one to ask for help, you can take measurements yourself:
2. Place the chair against the wall.
3. Raise your leg and mark a point on the wall at the level where the heel begins.
4. Attach a ruler, tape measure, or tape measure to the wall so that the first mark is at the level where the heel begins.
5. Place the camera against the wall so that you (or at least your foot) are in the frame.
6. Start the timer.
7. Sit on a chair, stretch your leg.
8. You may need to repeat this procedure several times.

Perfect paragraph supports the leg

Contrary to the claims of the past few years, it has become known that shoes with a heel can also support the shape and function of the feet. The premise is that the heel height has been calculated perfectly and the heel has not been worn all the time. The British physician even states that he needs a certain amount of sales to keep his leg healthy. You can calculate your ideal heel height in a simple way.

Formula for calculating ideal height

  • Sit on a chair and stretch your leg out in front of you.
  • In your mind, extend vertically straight towards the ball and then stretch your leg slightly.
  • As soon as the leg bends forward, measure the distance between the straight line and the ball.
With the calculated value, you have determined your ideal height. However, if the foot is at right angles to the foot or does not extend forward, flat shoes are optimal.

Generally, for most women, the maximum heel height is 7-9 cm.

Greetings to dear readers of my site "Take note of the family!" Yes, yes, it is the readers, since my today's article is devoted specifically to the female representatives, and specifically to the height of the heel of women's shoes. Do you know what the correct heel height should be, both in terms of proportionality and in terms of medicine, so as not to harm your health? Let's talk a little about this.

Where to find shoes at the optimal height

Now that you have been able to calculate your ideal heel height, you should check your shoes for the correct shoes. Sort shoes that are too tall and flat. If you are sharing shoes with a friend or sister because of heel height, then you both have something to calculate your ideal height. To get used to your ideal height, you must first buy new shoes in the shop. If you are sure which type of paragraph is best for you in the estimated amount, you can order new pumps or high heels online. Fashion, unfortunately, is very little about wearing comfort or safety.

It is believed that a woman looks more attractive if heels, especially stilettos, are worn on her feet. These legs attract the views of the opposite sex.

This is especially true for women's shoes, especially those with high heels. The height at which it is most comfortable and safest to run is, unfortunately, in many cases also the most boring option, if not entirely irrelevant. In many industries, the classic heel height is two and a half to four centimeters, and in holidays six to nine centimeters in high heels are attached again.

The psychology of high heels

In fact, it is not worth attracting the attention of men. Clack clack often enough. When women rumble down the street with high heels, men have a sales problem: high boots catch their eye magically... Is it about erotic clichés or maybe more behind it?

And women themselves often wear high-heeled shoes in order to increase their own self-esteem.

At the same time, in recent times very often you can find women, and especially young girls, who wear flat shoes without any heels.


Psychologist Paul Morris from British University Portsmouth also thought about it and analyzed the whole thing. As a basis for his experiments, Morris used various videos of twelve women, sometimes performing in high-heeled shoes, sometimes flat ballerinas on a treadmill.

The trick was that in different parts the female's body, such as joints, knees and thighs, were attached with green dots of color, which were captured and filmed by a special camera. A stunt technique, as it is also used in computer animation in Hollywood.

And what about the theory of proportionality, comfort and health safety? What do orthopedists advise? What is the ideal heel height?

Let's start with the theory of proportionality. According to her, the ideal heel height that is right for you is calculated using a special formula:

Ideal. heel height = (R: D - 1.61) x 10

Then the finished video clips were shown to some volunteers - 15 men and 15 women - but only the movement of the glasses, so that they were focused exclusively on the passage and were not distracted by the attractiveness of the women or their shoes. Effect: The taller the shoes women used in the videos, the more attractive and erotic they were classified by the subjects - of both genders. Women even gave significantly more benefits than men.

A second experiment, a similar construction: this time the participants have to guess whether a man or a woman is behind the glasses. Although in all cases they were women, they were considered male by 28% of their sexual partners, but only if they wore flat shoes. If the women in the video were in high heels, they were only embarrassed 17 percent of the time.

P is your height in centimeters;

D - leg length in cm;

1.61 is the ratio of the ideal ratio of height to leg length;

The resulting figure will mean the most correct and harmonious heel height in centimeters for you in terms of proportionality.

For example, my height is 170 cm.

Leg length - 93 cm.

Paul Morris justifies this with a different course: women would take several or fewer steps in high heels. In addition, the knees will be less stretched and the hips will sway and sway - in short: the walk becomes more feminine in high heels.

Curiosity: A study by Nicholas Guguen of the University of South Brittany found that men help women much more when these high heels are worn - and the higher the heels, the more willingness to help: this has already risen from a height of five centimeters from 36 to 60 percent. In comparison, ballerinas helped women only 25 percent of the time. However, there seems to be a sales cap: if women were 10 centimeters or more, the desire for men to help “only” was 49 percent.

1) 170: 93 = 1,828

2) 1,828 - 1,61 = 0, 218

3) 0.218 x 10 = 2.18 cm

Thus, for me the most correct heel height would be 2 cm 18 mm.

In this formula important point is the calculation of the length of the legs.

Ask someone to help you and prepare a measuring tape.

But if high heels are particularly feminine, if not sexy, messages in the first place, why do women wear high heels at work? Although, most men are likely to find their female counterparts in high heels more attractive, sexy. But in the workplace, sex messaging is more often considered a career.

Too deep neckline, too generous neckline, transparent clothes, underwear, too short a skirt - all this is taboo in the clothing code. On the one hand, because it could disrupt the working world. On the other hand, because of the so-called: it describes a perceptual error in which the individual characteristics of a person dominate us so much that they create a transcendental overall impression.

Stand straight on the floor with bare feet. Leg length is measured from the protruding tubercle of the femur, which is opposite hip joint, to the floor.

Measure the length of both legs just in case. Sometimes they differ slightly. Moreover, you may not even notice a difference of 1-2 cm.

Surely you want to compare the results you get with those considered ideal. Just in case, I will give you a sign:

Smith of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, has given up some of this. He created another thesis about why women in the office wear high heels. It goes beyond sex drive. High heels change the silhouette of a woman. They create the optical illusion of shorter legs, thinner ankles, more long legs... First of all, they enlarge the woman and give her and others a tangible impression of higher status and power.

It is also a halo effect game. But Smith's thesis is believed to be less about sexual stimuli, but more about status, power, and size in double word... This is calculated as follows. However, from a height of eight centimeters, each calculation is redundant.

As you can see, the physique is considered ideal when the length of the legs is slightly more than half the height. These figures are relevant for women. For men, the correct proportions are slightly different.

So, we have decided on the proportionality. Now let's see what doctors say about this.

Talking about correct height heel, we, of course, mean shoes for everyday wear. So, doctors believe that the most correct is a heel height of 2-4 cm.

What shoes speak of women

And if this is too difficult for you: on this page, you can simply enter values ​​and calculate the optimal paragraph height. There is, however, another theory: talk about shoes. In other words, you can ask a coworker directly how she is feeling.

You might think this is typical nonsense now. For those who choose the first method and ask the woman directly about their feelings, be warned: this is a muted landscape. Women don't understand this issue. As soon as she asks someone about her feelings, her highly evolved intrigue feels the upward movement and looks for a middle subtext.

A higher heel over time can lead to various diseases of the joints, veins and spine. High heel provokes swelling, "bumps", calluses.

A flat sole is no less harmful. Recently, it has become very popular, and doctors have noticed that more patients are seeking medical help with foot problems, and they preferred to wear shoes without heels. In such shoes, the foot constantly slides into the inner part, tendons are stretched, pains appear in the fingers and toes. Therefore, a small heel is essential!

The platform is also harmful, even if its height is correct. The constant wearing of shoes on a platform leads to flat feet, since in such shoes the muscles of the feet practically stop working.

Until recently, all over the world, a heel height of 5 cm was considered safe, and American scientists, after conducting research, came to the conclusion that such a heel height does not contribute to the preservation of health, and the correct heel should be 2 times lower, namely 2.5 cm.

Orthopedists have also developed their own formula for the most useful heel:

Correct heel height = Foot length: 7

For example, my foot length is 24 cm.

24: 7 = 3.4 cm

From the point of view of orthopedists, the most convenient, comfortable and safe heel for me will be 3.4 cm. Shoes with this heel height will protect my legs from fatigue and help my feet when walking.

Once again, I want to emphasize that all these calculations apply to everyday shoes. By special cases You can wear high-heeled shoes, but it is advisable not to wear them for more than 4 hours in a row.

And shoes with a heel height of more than 11 cm are generally better not to purchase. In addition, not everyone knows how to walk beautifully in such a heel.
