How to measure the height of the heel?

A high heel gives the girls an indescribable sense of their own superiority. To the beauties on the hairpins are chained hundreds of looks. But orthopedists are adamant: too high a heel is bad for health! How to determine the safe height of the heel, and to save health, and look stunning?

Measurement procedure

It would seem, what difficulties can arise? But not all girls know how to properly measure the height of the heel. Especially when it comes to fashionable wedges or shoes with a heel and platform at the same time. Typically, the height of the heel is measured using a pulling centimeter, because the ruler can not take the shape of your heels.

So, let's get started. First, it is necessary to conduct all measurements on a flat horizontal surface. If you do it on weight, holding shoes in your hands, you can make a mistake by one or two centimeters. Then attach a centimeter tape to the heel of the shoe, and stretch it to the protruding point on the heel curvature. The figure you see on the tape at this point, and will be the same parameter that you measure, that is, the height of the heel.

Did not find a centimeter tape at hand? No problem! Use the usual thread. Carry out the same manipulations with it as described above, and then measure the resulting segment with a ruler.

And what if the heel is not directly under the heel or is made at an angle? The simplest method is that a centimeter tape is applied to the surface on which the shoe stands and the other end is vertically extended to the point of support of the heel.

Heel height in shoes on a heel and platform is measured as follows. First, measure the total height of the shoes according to the above rule, then measure the height of the platform, and the difference of these two parameters will be the height of the heel itself.
