Of Average Height

If anyone knows what women want, it’s Gilt, who provides us with sales on our favorite designers.  Using their knowledge of what we love, they did a big study on the average height of heels bought by shoe devotees in each state and Puerto Rico. 

It’s Puerto Rico, actually, that comes in highest with an average heel height of 2.87 inches.  Florida and Nevada closely follow (I’m thinking Miami and Vegas?).  The state with the shortest average heel is Kansas (1.97 inches), followed by Nebraska and Maine.  Our beloved Pennsylvania clocks in on the low side, at just a smidge over two inches.  (See more about the results here.)  So sensible Pennsylvania girls, here’s a slew of two-inch heels just for you!

The Piri by Adrienne Vittadani is a gorgeous red patent leather peep toe pump with a 2.25-inch kitten heel.  And look at the many-tiered bow on the toe!  There’s just so much to love about this.  Also available in black and navy, but the red really shines.  Yours for $60 from DSW.

This classic boot is the Phaedra by Rockport.  The upper is full grain leather, with some elastic at the back for extra stretch.  A silver buckle around the back completes the look, along with the two-inch block heel.  Also available in a really lovely brown; your choice for $80 from 6pm.

I love a purple shoe, and the Crystah by Nina delivers!  (Though it also comes in apple green, yellow, black, ivory, navy, silver, and steel if purple is not your thing.)  This D’Orsay peep toe is topped with a lovely rhinestone feature made of round and pear stones, and the 2.25 inch heel put’s it right in Pennsylvania’s range.  Find them at Macy’s for $89.

Oh my goodness, how fun is the Chrissy by J. Renee?  The sparkly golden vamp is topped with a three-tiered bow, and the 2.25-inch wedge is wrapped in gleaming golden faux leather.  It’s so perfect for all the upcoming holiday parties I can’t even stand it.  And it also comes in taupe glitter, silver glitter, navy glitter, multi glitter with a pink wedge, beige patent, and black patent, so no matter what you’re planning to wear to your parties this year there’s one to match.  Your choice for $99 from Zappos.

So, two inches, Pennsylvania?  Here ya go!  Enjoy!
