Measuring heel height

[pet8899]

How do you measure heel height? At the back of the heel, the middle or the front. Or your height with and without the shoes?
What about the shoe size? Bigger shoes have bigger heels, so when a heel is described as 4", for what shoe size does that occur?

Heels are usually the same height from women's sizes 5 1/2 to 10 (US). However, depending on the manufacturer and shoe style, the heels may be slightly higher (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) with sizes larger than 10. Very few retailers sell women's high heel footwear in sizes smaller than 5 1/2 (US).
custom-made and made-to-order high heel shoes usually have heels of the same height for all sizes.
