The highest in the world
Very high heels are not meant for everyday wear. They are created for fashion shows, photography and video filming. Only a few girls dare to wear shoes with breathtaking heels, as Lady Gaga does.
Several years ago, she became the owner of three pairs of unique shoes from Alexander McQueen from his spring-summer 2010 collection. These unusual platform shoes and 25-centimeter heels are called "Armadillo Heels", because they really look like a battleship.
Three exclusive pairs of "armadillos" created from wood and python skin were put up for a charity auction. The starting price of each pair was $ 10,000. However, the flamboyant singer was determined to own all three, so she raised the rates by paying $ 295,000 for them.
Another rather bizarre Christian Louboutin ballet flats were created by Maestro especially for the London art exhibition Shoes For Show. The aim of the exhibition was to raise money for the English National Ballet.
The shoes have a heel of 8 inches (a little over 20 cm), a branded red sole and are decorated with iridescent Swarovski crystals. They are gorgeous in appearance, but at the same time they are not at all wearable. These shoes are designed to simply put them on the shelf and admire.
Despite the variety of designer high-heeled shoes, to date, only one has been listed in the Guinness Book of Records. These are shoes from the English brand LadyBWear Limited, which have a dizzying platform and a 16-inch heel (over 40 cm)! At the moment, the brand has stopped selling this model, but earlier everyone could buy it for $ 1.167.
For kids
In pursuit of modern fashion, little girls are eager to start dyeing their lips and wearing high heels as soon as possible. However, for a child's immature skeleton, this is completely unacceptable!
If your daughter is no more than 10 years old, she can wear a heel that does not exceed 2 cm. In adolescence, the heel height can reach 4 cm. In any case, children's models with heels are not created for every day.
You can buy beautiful dress shoes for your daughter for a special occasion. For everyday wear, it is better to choose comfortable shoes without heels, which are designed for her tender age.

Dimensions (edit)
If you buy shoes from a store, it is unlikely that you will have a problem choosing the right size for you. Even if the model is small, you can try on the shoes and ask for a larger pair.
Most girls face the problem of buying shoes in an online store, where you can only see the pair you like in the photo. In order not to be disappointed in the purchase, ask the length of the insole. This will help you most accurately determine the size you need.
Measuring the length of the foot is very simple - you need to put it on a white sheet of paper, press it tightly to the floor and draw it out with a pencil. By measuring the distance between your toes and heel, you will be sure to know the length of your leg.
For example, your foot is 25 cm long, which equals EU size 39. It corresponds to 8 American and 6 British, which is important for those who shop in overseas stores.
It is more difficult for owners of large legs, or vice versa, small ones. Most often, shoes for 43, 42, 41 sizes have to be looked for in specialized stores. The same can be said for shoes of small sizes 35, 34 and 33.
Previously, such shoes were a real shortage, shoes were rarely attractive in appearance, and girls had to choose from a very meager assortment.
Today, many shoe factories have begun to make beautiful shoes in large and small sizes, since there is still a certain demand for them. Therefore, now you can safely choose a design, style and pattern, like girls, whose legs correspond to the standard dimensional grid.
High heel insoles
If you wear high-heeled shoes every day, you need to consider buying an orthopedic insole. You need to buy them in specialized stores, where insoles are presented in various designs.
