how are heels measured
Measure the heel height by extending a tape measure from the bottom of the heel to the point at which it meets the sole of the boot. Place the tape measure against the center side of the heel as you measure. Common heel heights based on heel type are: Flat heels, with an average height between 0 and 0.75 inches (0 and 1.9 cm). Low heels, with an average height between 1 and 1.75 inches (2.5 and 4.4 cm). Mid heels, with an average height between 2 and 2.75 inches (5 and 7 cm).
