I don't know but I think we must separate the possible heel height from the individual limit of heel height, depending on flexibility in foot, arch, training and so on. I have extreme flexibility in my feet from my training in early years (ballet-training), a guess, but it's unique.
Most women have difficulties walking in 3 or 4 inch heels.
They admire my 5 inch stilettos and they would faint if they saw my highest heels. Impossible and insane they would say. (Insane, agree :D )
Since I'm short and vain I'm very proud of my gift.

big difference is walking and wearing.....

I have friends, and my room mate is one who buy heels to wear to an occasion or a special event but doesn't think about the walking part in them and is like "oh my gosh these heels are killing me!"

If you are used to walking in heels then wearing them is a little easier.....

I've never had any probs with regular 3 or 3.5 in heels (I'm 5'8 and a sz 7) but I've just bought my first pair of 4.5 ins and damn - how do you walk in these!?

I mean, I can walk in them but my knees keep bending, and my calves and ankles are going 'wtf!'.

I've started training on 4 inch heels, anything higher than that; i give up! But i want to be able to wear 5 inch heels, i hate being a shortie :(

Mt limits are as follows.... US size 9

My 6.3 " heels (6IHF) are as high as I can go and still stand. Because the arch is totally vertical the angle trys to push my knees forward. I've been wearing heels for my entire adult life and find them impossible to walk in.....stumble, yes......walk, never.

I can walk for a short period in 5- 5.5 " heels. But at 38 years old, I don't have the energy I had in my youth.

My 4" heels (Guess "Carrie") are the easiest for all day wear. Anything lower looks like granny shoes to me so I don't even bother.

For all-day wear the most I can do is 4 inch. I have some 'going out' shoes that are 5 inch but they put me right up onto my toes and I can only wear them for a short time before they really hurt!

I wish i could wear higher, but I am another shortie!

For me, 6" is the limit.

there are some shoes, its better off to wear a nice dress and wear them with one leg over the other dangling it...6" pumps arent meant for walking long distances..mainly to look pretty/cute/hot in.

I have worn 8" heels but kind of hard to walk in. I like 5-6" heels! These are just right!!!!!!
