They pitched too much weight onto the ball of my foot - seriously one of the most foot-fatiguing pair of shoes I have worn in a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/measuring-heel-height-#post-1833551 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 18:43:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1833551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: larger sizes having higher heels: The style stays the same. Any line that isn't horizontal (or pointing down) has to get higher as it gets longer/ further from the angle axis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/measuring-heel-height-#post-1833336 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 02:28:40 +0000 Staysfit 1833336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It makes some sense to me that a larger shoe could have a slightly larger heel. A shoe needs to balance and bend properly, so the heel height might need to adjust accordingly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/measuring-heel-height-#post-1833178 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 17:19:24 +0000 jill58 1833178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting about the Okalas. I have that exact pair in size 7 and the heel height in that size poses no problem. I had no idea that a larger size would have a higher heel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/measuring-heel-height-#post-1833148 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 15:40:34 +0000 Angie 1833148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to measure the vertical line straight down to the ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/measuring-heel-height-#post-1833142 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 14:55:14 +0000 JAileen 1833142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on the size, too. These are the Sam Edelman Okala, in size 6 and size 10. You can see the 10 has a slightly higher heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/measuring-heel-height-#post-1833139 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 14:50:16 +0000 Anonymous 1833139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/measurement-guide">http://www.zappos.com/measurement-guide</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/measuring-heel-height-#post-1833138 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 14:42:59 +0000 always trying 1833138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these sandals-description says heel height is 1 3/4 inches.&nbsp; U-tube videos and others says heel height is measured from the center back of where the shoe meets the heel.&nbsp; If I measure them that way thy measure 3 inches.&nbsp; When ordering shoes on line I find that this is not how they are measured. </p>
