About 4". I think my Miu Miu stiletto moto booties are 5", but they have a platform. I have size 10 feet, so I can get away with these heights. Although my back protests after a while.

Those blue platform pumps are wicked! Do get some practice wearing them around the house before you wear them out, to gain a measure of confidence when wearing them.

I love wearing heels and I am active in the dance and clubbing scene, so I also have a lot of opportunities to wear heels. I do like to go with 3" heels but I a find that if I am going to dance in heels for any length of time, I need as much padding as possible. It makes a huge difference when dancing or walking in heels for any length of time. Depending on the kind of heel you wear, you can see what kind of padding you want. If it is a pump, you can see if you can slip in a gel footbed insert.

If it is a boot, you can wear tights with a padded bottom and you can also add on a pair of thick socks to give you additional padding. My favourite pair of heels are a pair of knee high boots with a 3" heel. When I add padding, I can wear it for quite a decent period of time without tiring out.
