Well when all is....: ...healed, U just give it a shot. start with 1" than2" and proceed upwards Ur foot will tell U enough is enough, when U hit a height limit. don't start out with 4" heels, U need 2 allow Ur foot 2 adjust 2 each height, so wear then 2-3 weeks, if ok step up. it is possible U won't B able 2, but only trying with a slow progression will tell.
