    The only people who can wear stilettos at a somewhat comfortable level are men.

    Because their feet are generally longer, the angle is less extreme.

    As someone who has small feet, I’ve never been able to wear more than 2 inch heel and even that contorted my foot similar to this image.

    But drag queens, They can stomp around in heels like nobody’s business

      …so different sizes of the same stiletto model would have the same height of the heel? Seems weird to me that they wouldn’t scale it with the rest of the stiletto. Or are you just comparing heels in absolute heights regardless of model/size?

        So the steepness of the angle would depend on how close the heel is to the ball of the foot.

        Here is an illustration.

          Yes exactly. It’s weird they don’t scale it. The two images don’t look like the same model to me.
