The average height of a high heel shoe is generally considered to be between 3 and 4 inches (7.5-10 cm).
High heels are defined as heels that exceed the height of low heels, which typically range from 1 to 2 inches. The 3-4 inch range is a common standard for classifying footwear as "high heels." While heels can be higher than 4 inches, this 3-4 inch range is often what is considered typical.
