Hm...

High-heels - I just wanted to define high heel shoes - are we talking about 'stilettos'? (not platforms? - which are like a chunk or block like heel to the shoe, or wedge shoes, which are no stilettos, but entirely with the shoe shaped like shoe..)..I just wanted to define that first...because

Stilettoes to me - I would agree - make noise, draw attention, define the calfs, etc etc...don't really go with what I know of the sunnah -

As far as wedge shaped shoes are concerned or platform like shoes - I would be interested too in knowing the significance of such shoes (that don't make noise) but give height instead.

Okay all of that said - is adding height to your height (unless really short - even that,) a bad thing - or does it relate in any way to pride?

Personally I think all such shoes are not so good for tendons - cause tendon shortening apparently - and - intention wise ie to draw attention fullstop, question ? pride element? - and general force of impact on the bones - and from a medical point of view cause all sorts of problems, eg deviation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint aka bunion risk, and from an intention and furthering the heart point of view - don't sound too good either.

I know there is a hadith or two. ...I'm sure there is...

From a practical point of view don't help at all - but people still suffer wearing it. Ie you can't really run too good in heels...in the work place, if ur on your feet all day aint to great either - ask a nurse.

The only thing I know heels do do, is help with the back and straightening the posture.
