Can high heels be shortened by one inch?

Answer 1

You can, but you have to go to a very special tailorThe actual height of the heel can be increased, but that would change the angle where the arch section meets the sole. Added heel height would increase that angle and excess material will extend to the sides. Also, the heel itself will not stand perpendicular to the floor, but at an angle with the top of the heel more toward the toe of the shoe.

Answer 2

Yes, but you will need to take them to a cobbler.

Answer 3

usually, no. because it will change the angle of the toe section. plus the spike usually has a small plate built it and shortening it would make it too weak.

Answer 4

Possibly. It has much to do with the shape and material of the rest of the shoe. You would need to take them to a shoe repair shop or shoemaker for a more accurate answer.
