Chunky clogs can overwhelm a shorter frame — here are 9 pairs that add height without cutting the leg line.
My top pick: The trick for petite frames is height that does not add visual bulk — a platform lifts you, but a heavy strap across the foot shortens the leg.

The bottom line
A platform gives you height without heel pain, and a low vamp in a nude tone does more for leg line than any amount of extra height.
