The height of the hill on this type of shoe varies greatly. You can get a pair with a very small heel that isn’t too noticeable or go with three inch heels. The width of the heel itself is very important though because it is going to affect how much support you have on that end of your foot. Some women can walk with grace in any style of high heels and others have a hard time.

The quality of the high heels you purchase is important as well. You really need to be careful that they heel part doesn’t break away from the rest of your shoe. If this happens you can end up falling and injuring yourself. It is a good idea to inspect your high heels on a regular basis.

You will find that most models of high heels on the market are geared towards those individuals with narrow feet.
