How Do You Measure a High Heel Shoe?

Published in Shoe Measurement 2 mins read

To accurately measure the heel height of a high heel shoe, follow these simple steps:

Steps to Measure Heel Height:

  1. Prepare: Place the high heel shoe on a flat, level surface. This ensures an accurate measurement.

  2. Position Your Measuring Tool: Using a ruler or measuring tape, align the measuring tool against the back of the heel.

  3. Measure Vertically: Measure from the bottom of the heel (where it touches the ground) vertically upwards to the point where the heel connects to the shoe's upper part (the shoe body).

  4. Record the Measurement: Note the measurement in either inches or centimeters, depending on your preference and the units on your measuring tool. This value represents the heel height.

Important Considerations:

  • Accuracy is Key: Ensure the ruler or measuring tape is perfectly vertical to avoid skewed measurements.
  • Measurement Point: Always measure at the back of the heel. Measuring at an angle or from the side will give an inaccurate result.
  • Slight Variations: Be aware that slight variations may occur between different measurement methods or the shoe's advertised height.

By following these steps, you can confidently and accurately determine the heel height of any high heel shoe.
