Height of Comfort - Article

I received the recent edition of Glow magazine (May 2010) and in it was a short article on heel hight.  I thought it was poignant so I decided to include it here:


Don't know how high you should go? It all depends on your subtalar joint, found in the middle of your foot, says British podiatrist Emma Supple.  Its optimal position varies from person to person.  To find yours, grab a friend and two rulers.  Take a seat, then raise and extend your foot and relax your ankle.  Have your pal place one ruler downward from your big toe, then have her use the second one to measure the distance between your heel and the first ruler - this equals the maximum heel hight you should be wearing.
