What is the heel height and platform height

📏 The heel height and platform height 📏

Here you will find a short explanation of the heel height and platform height ! Do you want to read the explanation of all shoe specifications? Then take a look at the following page:

All specifications explained

Heel height and platform height:

For many people, these two factors are decisive in choosing their perfect pair of heels. Especially in the world of pole dancing, exotic dance and pole fitness, heel heights are often indicated in inches instead of centimeters.
To make it easy for you, I always give both sizes - in inches and in cm. That way you don't have to convert them yourself! 😉

How they are measured:

 

Heel height (abbreviated "HH")

Platform height (abbreviated "PF")

For Pleaser heels, the heel height is measured from the point where the heel touches the ground, in a straight line up to the point where the heel touches the sole. You can see this in the image below:

 heel height_1

The platform height is measured from the bottom of the outer sole; where it touches the ground, to the top of the platform; the height at which your foot rests. This is shown in the image below:

platform height

What is the 'walking height'

📏 The walking height 📏

Here you will find a short explanation of the walking height! Do you want to read the explanation of all shoe specifications? Then take a look at the following page:

Walking height:

The walking height is the 'real' heel height you walk on. We calculate this with the next 'formula':

Heel height - Platform height = Walking height

  • For heels without a platform, the heel height is the same as the walking height because nothing is subtracted from the heel height
  • For heels with a platform, the 'real' heel height you walk on is less than the total heel height because your foot rests on a platform. That means the sole of the shoe has literally been raised and your foot is standing higher. You can therefore subtract the platform height from the heel height to calculate the walking height.

The following image shows an example:

What is the heel distance

📏 The heel distance 📏

Here you will find a short explanation of the heel distance! Do you want to read the explanation of all shoe specifications? Then take a look at the following page:

All specifications explained

💡 Tip: Click on the images to enlarge them!


Heel distance

The heel distance is the space between the heel and the outsole and determines how steep the slope of the insole is
  • A steeper heel has a shorter heel distance
    (and a sharper slope angle* = a lower angle in degrees*)
  • The shorter the heel distance, the steeper the heels feel.
*Want to know more about this? Read the explanation about the angle of inclination for more information about this

Heel distance

The shorter the heel distance, the higher the heels of the shoes feel/the steeper the shoes will be.


How this is measured

Measuring the heel distance is best done when comparing two different shoes of the same size and with the same walking or heel height.

You don't even have to measure the distance exactly if you can clearly see whether the distance of one shoe is shorter than the other*

💡Important:

  • The shorter the heel distance, the higher/steeper the heels feel

*Where exactly you should measure this distance is sometimes difficult to say. In this more extensive explanation about the heel distance you can find more explanation about how and where you can measure this. But usually you do not need all this information to buy heels.

    The next image shows an example of how heel distance affects the 'steepness' of a shoe. The triangle represents the 'space between' the heel and the outsole/slope as seen in the heel on the left.

    • Beide hakken zijn 10 cm hoog
    Hak afstand

     

    Below is an example of two shoes without a platform, both with a heel height of 12.7 cm, where the exact distance is not measured in actual units, but where the heel distance of both shoes is compared in the coloured arrows at the top of the image:

    distance of heels example

    The right shoe will feel steeper than the left shoe, despite both heels being 12,7 cm (5") high, because the space between the heel and the outsole is shorter.
    You can also see that the sole of the right shoe slopes down steeper than the sole of the left shoe (a steeper slope = steeper heels)

     

     Don't compare apples with oranges:
    There is no point in comparing the heel distance of size 36 shoes with size 40 shoes; or comparing the heel distance of shoes with a platform to a shoe without a platform.
    Why?
    shoes in size 40 always have a longer heel distance than the same shoe in size 36 because size 40 is simply longer than size 36. The heel will therefore also have to be at a longer distance from the outsole than with size 36 in order to maintain the same 'steepness'.
    The same applies to shoes with a platform and shoes without a platform. If you compare shoes with the same heel height and heel distance, one of which has a platform and the other does not have a platform, you will stand less steeply on the shoe with a platform sole because the heel distance should actually be measured at the 'walking height' (see the information about Walking height)

    Summary:
    If the heel distance is smaller (shorter), the slope is steeper and the slope angle is sharper (the degree of the angle is 'lower')

    The heel of shoes with a shorter heel distance will therefore also feel higher

    General information

    I import most items especially for you from the USA, Poland or Slovenia. The average delivery time is 1 to 1½ weeks (within the Netherlands) but this can also be longer. This is an average delivery time, therefore it's not a promise or guarantee! Please keep that in mind!

    Please note:

    • For returning (not exchanging) items that I imported for you from the USA, there will be €25,- import/postage/duty costs deducted from your refund amount per item*.
    • I will convert €15,- from that €25,- into a shop credit. You will receive your shop credit by email and it can be redeemed on the webshop with your next order
      • your credit is valid for 12 months from the date of issue
      • your credit cannot be exchanged for (cash) money
      • If your return does not meet the return & refund conditions and I therefore apply a deducted refund in addition to the import/postage/duty costs, your right to this shop credit will lapse.

    *When returning multiple items that have been purchased for you, I always calculate the costs incurred per individual situation. The amount that is deducted and what is converted into shop credit therefore depends on the actual costs that have been incurred and concerns a reasonable compensation for the losses suffered

    **The charges only cover the costs incurred in purchasing and importing the items from America; no standard cancellation fees or restocking fees that cannot be substantiated or explained will be charged.
    The charges are a reasonable compensation for the losses suffered/loss of profit

    More about the reasonable compensation can be found in this Dutch text here en here 

    This applies to:
    1) cancellation of the order before it is delivered to you, but has already been purchased/imported by me
    2) returning (part of) the order you have already received.

     

    I would prefer not to have to charge these costs, but in order to cover the costs (losses) I have incurred due to the increasing number of returns, this has unfortunately proven necessary. To limit the number of returns (please think about the environment too) I would like to ask you to think just a little longer about your purchase, to make a well-considered decision and, if you are unsure, to ask me for advice or help! 

    For a single exchange for a different size, these costs will not be charged. You can read more about this in the Terms and Conditions and Refund Policy.

    Sizing and Dimensions

    See how you can calculate your size using a conversion table on our information page: "How do I know which size I have and which one I should order?"

    To view a conversion table and see which sizes & dimensions we use, you can use the size chart, which you can find in the following two ways:

    On every page (both on your mobile and on a computer) you can find a button for a size chart on the right side, which looks like this:Maattabel knop pagina

    On all product pages you can find the button for the table above the "Add to cart" button, which looks like this:

    Our shoes and boots come from the USA and have American sizes (1 inch = 2.54 cm).
    These dimensions have been converted to the Western European size that we use in the Netherlands, Belgium and other EU countries. Our converted EU dimensions differ from those of our American supplier stated on the box. Experience shows that shoe sizes US-12 and up in particular are larger.

    Order the size you normally wear, we already take into account how a model fits (large, small or according to size). Sometimes we explicitly inform you about this in the description.

    If you are between sizes, we usually recommend rounding up the size for a closed model, such as a pump or boot. With an open model, such as a sandal or peep toes (where the toes and heel are 'open') we recommend to choose the smaller size.

    If you want to order a specific US size, please select the desired US size indicated in the sizes. We always order the corresponding US size stated; the corresponding EU size determined by us may therefore differ from the EU size stated on the box.

    Of course you can always ask us for advice about which size you need: info@kinky-shoes.nl

    If you would like to know the shaft circumference, shaft height and calf circumference of boots, you can calculate these for your size (for an explanation of how to do this; view our information page about calculating the circumference). Use the following data sheet for this:
