In heels or lifts?
Pick how much the shoes raise each person. A heel raises you by less than its own height, because the ball of the foot sits lower than the heel, so a height measured in the shoes is best.
Both heights are published listings, not a side-by-side measurement, so treat the gap as approximate.
