When it comes to heels, opinion can certainly be divided. For some, they feel elegant and empowering, while others associate them pain and discomfort. If you’re part of the latter group, then it could be that you simply haven’t found the best heel height for you and your feet yet.
Every person’s feet are different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to choosing the perfect pair of heels. Read on to find out more about the most comfortable heel height, how to measure the heel height of your existing shoes, and to find out more about our collection of comfortable heels.
What is a comfortable heel height? The most comfortable heel height will vary from person to person and will depend on the shape of your foot, the type of shoe and how experienced you are with wearing heels.
The average heel height is around 3 inches, or 7.5cm. This falls into the mid heel range, which usually measures in at 2-3 inches, or 5-7.5cm. This is the most classic heel height, and mid-height heels should be comfortable enough to wear all day. That said, the best heel height for you might be lower or higher than the average.
Low heels are typically 1-2 inches, or 2.5-5cm. In low heels, the heel is short enough that the balls of your feet shouldn’t be left aching, even if you’re on your feet all day.
High heels are generally 3-4 inches, or 7.5-10cm. These are typically reserved for dressy occasions like parties or evenings out, as they can be a little more difficult to walk in. Any higher than this and the shoe is likely to have a platform at the front to make it slightly easier to walk in. If you’re new to wearing heels, it’s a good idea to start with a lower heel and work your way up to a high heel once you’ve had some practice.
You’ll only know what the best heel height for you is once you’ve tried a few pairs and worked out which ones you find the most comfortable. It’s important to take care of your feet, so try to give them a rest by alternating between heels and flats.
How to measure heel height
If you have a pair of heels that you find particularly comfortable and want to buy more with the same heel height, then get a tape measure or ruler and determine their height. To measure heel height, place your shoe on a flat surface. Measure the back of the heel from the bottom of the heel to the point where it connects to the shoe. The measurement you take, in inches or centimeters, is the correct height of that heel.
