Over calf 1.5 inch platform 5 inch heel vinyl, to be specific. Found them in size 14 on sale for $25, couldn't pass them up since they suit a bunch of anime costume.
Anyone have any tips for not looking like a two minute old giraffe? Up stairs is easy, down stairs makes me more paranoid of stairs than I already am, and there is no such thing as walking in a straight line...
I'm pretty sure I can solve calf cramping on my own, a minute of Googling muscle structure and common injuries let me add a new stretch to my already long routine (I borrow them from things we did in baseball and football, but also videos and books I've seen for gymnastics, ballet, and cheerleading.) If anyone has any specific tricks, though, I try mostly everything to see what works.


but I wish you all the luck in finding out how to master them 
The trick to walking down stairs in heels is to do it sideways (I am also a size 14), making sure the foot in the boots are fully on the stair tread or you are asking to hook a heel and go down.
