Greetings to dear readers of my site "Note to the Family!" Yes, yes, it’s readers, since today’s article of mine is dedicated specifically to the female representatives, and specifically to the height of the heel women's shoes. Do you know what the correct heel height should be, both from the point of view of proportionality and from the point of view of medicine, so as not to harm your health? Let's talk about this a little.

This is especially mystifying when high heels bring up a list of injuries and illnesses, and the pain can start in just over an hour. According to him, women subconsciously wear high heels to attract attention. Women also note that high heels make them feel professional and polished. However, women were not always the main gender to wear high heels.

Proposal first, ring next, wedding date, dress then shoes, or is it the shoes and then the dress? So what are women looking for when they buy their wedding shoes? What comes first, design or comfort? Whether you're looking for a specific style like sandals, peep toes, pumps, or the perfect heel height, you want to look good and feel good from head to toe without being in shoes or feet.

It is believed that a woman looks more attractive if she wears shoes with heels, especially stilettos, on her legs. Such legs attract the views of the opposite sex.

According to Lauren Rudy, an associate shopper at David's Wedding, she notes that it definitely feels like it's an attachment to a particular brand, wanting something back to her dress, something that complements it without taking it away from him, and the trend.

Wedding shoes, like any other fashion, should fit properly and not be too tight, too small or too big. Even if it's the only night you wear those shoes walking down the aisle standing in the waiting room and dancing the night away should be as painless as possible.

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

At the same time, in Lately very often you can meet women, and especially young girls, wearing shoes with flat soles completely without any heel.


Legs are different sizes, widths and shapes with chunks and bumps in all the wrong places when it comes to shopping for your bridal shoes. Shoes are sized and wide. If you're buying shoes online, in a bridal shop, or in a department store, always buy your true shoe size, not ones that almost fit.

Land mines to avoid when buying your boots make sure they don't pinch in the toe box or shed the top, tip and sides of the toes. This can lead to the formation of blisters and calluses. So make sure you have enough room to maneuver in your shoe box. If your shoes are too tight or too wide, by the end of the night your feet will probably be screaming at you to take them off. Feet may swell after being on them all day. Blisters and calluses can form on the toes due to constant rubbing, rubbing and toes trying to grab the floor of the shoe for stability.

And how are things from the point of view of the theory of proportionality, comfort and safety for health? What do orthopedists recommend? 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

If you've developed buns or milk toes over the years, you now have to accommodate those bony issues when shopping for shoes. Having a narrow heel can also cause problems when buying shoes due to heel slippage. Milky toes can increase the chance of developing blisters. Shoes that are too wide can cause the balls of your feet to slip and burn due to excess movement in the boot area.

This is because the muscles in the arch of your foot get tired and begin to experience fatigue from the stress of being on your feet that day. However, it is always better to wear wedding shoes that are comfortable, supportive and will last all night. This is how you do it! Always look for soft leather shoes because the last thing you want to do is break your wedding shoes. Placement on racks with shockproof supports on your shoes - The best way solve muscle spasms and arc fatigue on your wedding day.

R is your height in centimeters;

D - leg length in cm;

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

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

For example, my height is 170 cm.

Leg length - 93 cm.

An added benefit is that there should be less jamming, redness and swelling thumb feet due to the sharp tone of the shoe. An added bonus is that they can also relieve leg and back fatigue for too long after a long party! Bring your wedding shoes along with you if you buy them from a local store to ensure a proper fit, making sure there is enough room for your foot and arch support, some products may be too bulky.

Buying arch supports online is another option, and there are arch products that can simply fit into a wedding shoe arch regardless of heel height or style. Just peel off the adhesive backing and paste them. When the online type contains keywords such as arches for fashion shoes, instant arch support or arch support for high heels or wedding shoes. Another way to give your feet instant comfort is to place a soft, thin inner sole on your boots, they will reduce friction and burning, and provide extra padding.

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 2cm18mm.

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

Ask someone to help you and have a measuring tape ready.

And she walked safely down the aisle, feeling great, and said, “I do!”. Heel measurements have been mystifying women for years. This is mainly due to how different people or manufacturers take measurements. When our measurements are reported in inches, the measurement is taken from the very back of the heel. When in centimeters, it is taken from the central stem. In all activities, the center shaft measurement is the most important measurement as it more accurately measures the lift that the heel gives to your entire body.

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.

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

Surely you will want to compare your results with those considered ideal. Just in case, I'll give you a table:

This was done to accommodate women who wanted the highest marks. This way we will report the height of the heel. This explains why the two are not an exact conversion. Most designers are interested in the angle of the leg. They must ensure that size 4 has the same or significantly similar foot angle as the size. Thus, they should have step heels to accommodate longer legs. If you stretch the length, you will need to change the height to achieve the correct angle.

So a size 4 boot needs a much lower heel for angle than the size. On the top right is a line of shoes in different sizes with the "same" heel height. You can see that the heel heights are different, but also the distances from the heel, indicating an increase in leg length. So of course the heels must be higher to maintain the correct angle. We report heel height for the median size group.

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 correct proportions a little different.

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

Speaking of correct height heels, we, of course, mean shoes for everyday wear. So here it is doctors believe that the heel height of 2-4 cm is the most correct.

These platforms are created with cork. They also have a handy memory foam stand. Initially, they are comfortable and slightly flexible. But as you wear them, they conform to the shape of your foot and become very flexible and the highest degree comfort. The disadvantage of these is that the feel of the floor is slightly compromised.

They are great for seminars and long weekend getaways as well as trips to shopping mall or a night walk around the city. Platform shoes have a higher heel, but this is due to the underlying construction of the shoe. The regular version has 3 heels. The example above shows this relationship. Over the past two months, we have released several articles about the launch of new climbing boots.

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

No less harmful and flat soles. Recently, it has become very popular, and doctors have noticed that more patients began to apply for medical care with foot problems, and they preferred to wear shoes without a heel. In such shoes, the foot constantly moves out to the inside, the tendons are stretched, pains appear in the fingers and legs. Therefore, a small heel is necessary!

It's exciting and fun to wait for a new model from your favorite brand, especially when the style suits your tastes. When the ankle needs to decrease dorsiflex, the body can achieve more knee flexion. This results in a deeper and more comfortable squat.

Want to find the best weightlifting boot? to find out which brand and model you should try! Many athletes see heel height in lifters, which can lead to boots that may not benefit them at best. Raised heels are different options, but the standard heel is . 75. Some athletes add inserts to the bottom of their boot to increase their heel over the common one. The main purpose of a raised heel is to achieve sufficient squat depth with an upright torso.

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

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

When it comes to choosing your perfect heel, there are a number of factors you can consider including leg length, torso length, and squat style. Leg and torso length are two keys to choosing the perfect lifter. Analyze your body and decide if your legs and torso will be shorter or longer. Sometimes a lifter has a combination of both. Once you've done that, use the points below to help you choose.

If you are someone with longer shins and thigh bones, then you can take advantage of saliva. It's harder for someone with long legs to reach the bottom squat position with a vertical torso and no heel to sit back. Short leg lifters have a little easier time trying to reach optimal depth. They can sit back and keep their torso upright with a smaller heel. If you know your shins and thighs are short, then start with a 75-inch heel and adjust your bottom squat position accordingly.

Orthopedists also deduced their formula for the most useful heel:

Correct Heel Height = Foot Length: 7

For example, my foot length is 24 cm.

24:7=3.4cm

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

The torso angle is the cherry on top when choosing the perfect lift. An ideal heel will allow you to completely fill the depth of the cortege with a vertical torso. A longer torso is more prone to leaning forward, which can sabotage lifts. If you have a long torso with short legs, you can walk away with a shorter heel. Although for lifters with long torsos and legs, they should look into a boot with a higher heel.

The shorter the torso, the easier it is to stay upright at full depth. For those who have long legs and shorter torsos, look for a higher heel. Lifters with short torsos and legs have the lightest form and can usually work with a variety of heels.

Once again, I want to emphasize that all these calculations apply to everyday shoes. On special occasions, you can wear shoes with heels, 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 buy. In addition, not everyone knows how to walk beautifully in such a heel.


The chart above can be used as a guide when estimating torso and leg lengths. It is important to remember that the anthropometry of each person is somewhat different. This chart may not fit your body perfectly, even if you fall into a certain category. Use this as a guide when you start your search so you have an idea of ​​what you should be looking for.

After assessing anthropometry, it's time to focus on the squat. The way we squat will also affect the lift shoe we use the most. Most of our position comes into play, along with the high bar and low level bar.

AnyfromHace always wants to lookperfect, and one ofnumerousways to enhance your own attractiveness is shoesbon high heels.

According to Christian Louboutin who makes the most comfortable shoes in the world,the height of the ideal hairpin is 11 cm. Favorite designer Carrie Bradshaw from the TV series “Sex in big city» Manolo Blahnik: «Don'tgo to extremes. A heel above 11.5 cm makes it difficult to walk beautifully and looks inelegant,” warns the designer.

But tosomeone will seem high and 6 cm heel, and someoneadheres to the principlenever wearingbeless than 10 cm» . Becauseand Isameshe- perfect heel height andhow to choose for yourselfcorrectwowshoes?

WITHAccording to the theory of proportionality, the ideal heel height can be calculated using the following formula:

1. Divide your height in centimeters by your leg length (also in centimeters) measured from waistline to floor.

2. Then we calculate the difference between the obtained value and the coefficient of the ideal ratio between height and leg length (it is 1.61).

3. The figure that will turn out in the end should be multiplied by 10. This will be the height in centimeters of theright andharmonious heel for you.

For example:

1. 164 cm (this is your height) / 84 (this is the length from waist to floor) = 1.95

2. 1,95 – 1,61 =0,34

3. 0.34 x 10 = 3.4 cm.

Medically in casual shoes, the ideal heel height should be within2- 4 cm . If wearing morehighuyheel,Thatthe load on the legs is not distributed physiologically, andit turns out thatevery step gives back. After some time, this is fraught with diseases of the veins, joints and spine.

Orthopedists have developed their own formula for calculating the most physiological heel height: foot length in centimeters divided by seven .

For example:

25/7= 3.57 cm.

Heels of just this height help the feet when walking and protect them from fatigue.

The heel height calculated by the two formulas must match.

If you prefer platform heels , then herehas its drawbacks. Noteachknowsthat prolonged and frequent walking on the platform can lead to flat feet.Especiallyharmfuland the platform, younggirls, evenherheight is correct,because of the platformfoot musclesto heralmoststopJobbe.
