How to measure high heels height ?

There is a general categorisation for heels:

Flat		from flat mm to 25mm
Low		from 25 mm to 60 mm
Medium		from 60mm to 85mm
High		from 85mm to 100mm
Very High		over 100mm

Also here, like for sizes, there is not a standard. There are 3-4 ways to measure them, usually localized.


American way:
The measured is taken placing the heel, with heel tip, on a flat surface and then measure from the surface to the top of the heel (in the back of shoe).

 

Italian way:The measure is taken on the heel axis (about the middle of the heel) without tips.

Continental Industry way:
the masure is taken as in fugure and with tips.

Now you will have a brief idea on how to measure your heels? I didnt know that im actually measuring my heels with the american way..
