I'm 5'4" and I wear 2.5" heels max. Heels hurt my feet, so I only wear those when I know there will be minimal walking involved. I'm lame and prefer flats and comfy shoes.
5'5", I'll usually go for 2-3", but I have a couple that are 4" that I will wear too. Even though I "could" wear higher and be fine, I feel uncomfortable with a high heel that also has a large platform.

5'9". My highest heels are probably 4.5" but with a 1" platform - angles over 3.5" are hard for me to walk in. I'm already a giant in Chile in bare feet (like, strangers randomly say "you're so tall" kind of giant), so being even giant-er doesn't bother me.

5' 9" - my average heel height is 3" but I have some 5" ones (4" with 1" platform).
I used to be very self-consious of my height. in HS my friends were all 5" - 5"1" and I would wear flats and scrunch down so I didn't tower over them. Now - much more confident and I wear what I like and looks good.
I'm 6'0" and I generally wear whatever height I want but now that I think about I can't remember when I wore heels last. I have one pair that are 4" and the rest are all under that.
5'3"..2" is as high as I can go. I am on my feet all the time and at work I need to be able to lift, carry and climb. So for me boots are my go to on everything since they are more durable for what I need in/out of work.
5'7", 4 inches is probably my max, but I've never tried anything higher. I've got some wedges that are 3.5 or 4" and they're quite comfortable, but I'm pretty sure it helps that I've got size 10 feet so the angle isn't too bad.
I have big feet, so I don't think that high heels are an angle issue for me. It's mostly that they put SOOOOO much pressure on the ball of my foot that it kills. Does anyone else have this problem?
6'. i have never owned a pair of heels so i couldn't tell you. i'm guessing with my lack of coordination, 3" would be my max.
it's not a height thing, i just find them uncomfortable and fairly impractical in my life. i'd suck it up if there was an occasion that called for heels, but i haven't encountered one yet. west coast casual 4 lyfe.
5'10" - I have some 4" heels, but it's comfort more than being self-conscious about my height that keeps me in mostly 3" or under. I prefer a kitten heel or flats. If I could find 3" with a platform, I'd be in heaven.

I'm 5'8" and typically max out at 3" heels, but I do have a pair of 4" ones that I love. I don't really mind being super tall, but I do think I intimidate people when I wear them sometimes and that can be awkward.
