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.
These rounded published listings give an approximate gap. They do not account for shoes or posture in a photograph.
