I haven't tried to walk in 7 inch without platforms. I would say i can walk in 4-6 inch without much problem. I love high heels like these!!!

I like 5" inch for walking and doing just about anything. But prefer a platform, just so i can get a higher heel.

of course 5"

Having read the rest of the replies, I think I'm right in the 'average' bracket - boring but true, lol.

Depending on the type of day I have (whether I have meetings, who with, how long I'll be on my feet), for work I would say somewhere between 3.5" - 4.5" possibly up to 5"

Evenings in pubs and clubs usually 4.5"-5.5" I *generally* don't personally like the aesthetic of anything higher than that, platform or not. That said I do have some 6" heels, but they are for bedroom-use-only lol.

I find 5 inches are great for a full night out including dancing etc. Anything higher would involved lots of sitting down!

me too, most of my boots are 4 " to 5" stiletto or spike. I am very used to wear them to walk, dance and even run LOL....
I do have boots with 5.5" heels, if i wear them, i'll put some padding or cushioning inserts, so that I can shift weight to the heel reduces the pressure shift weight back to your heels.

6 inches
Those are my work shoes in my avatar pic. I can happily wear them all day.
In the evening I usually wear 4 1/2 or 5 inches as my town has alot of hills and any higher I would be on the floor.
What you might find a little unusual is that I have size uk 3 feet. 6 inches is the highest hight I can wear without a platform

Yeah....right!

I take a UK 4.5/5 - have been wearing stilettos for over 20 years - and still have trouble with 6" heels.

Personally - I don't believe anyone who says they can wear them comfortably all day.

Even the models, dancers and other 'professional wearers' I know can't last all day in 6" or more without platforms - they're just too hard on the joints and muscles.

A UK Size 3 foot is 23 cms in length. A 6 inch heel is 15 or 16 cms high.

So - you can walk around all day with the heel and sole of your foot at an 82.5 degree angle - just 7.5 degrees off vertical??
