Nothing with a chunky plat form is across the board rule now. Check with the federation you competing in to be sure what else they require.

Doesn't say really....Here is their rule:

"Shoes are worn to accentuate the calves and can give the illusion of greater leg length depending on the type of shoe selected. Shoes should not be virtually the same height off the ground at the toe as they are at the heel, as they would fail to accentuate the calves. Shoe color is up to the competitor, but please note a clear shoe tends distract less from the physique. Shoe style is up to the competitor also. Competitors should choose a shoe style that compliments their physiques. For example, if a competitor has a long upper torso, perhaps they will choose a shoe with a 6" heel and 3" height off the ground at the toe to give the illusion of longer legs. Excessive heel heights (ex. 5" difference between the heel and toe height) should not be worn if they present difficulties for poise, elegance, and stage presence as this would result in the potential for lower placement. Generally, competitors choose a clear shoe with an inch of height or less under the toes, but this can vary depending on the illusion a competitor wishes to create."

Yeah I think 5'4 and up is tall. Best bet is to go with something reasonable I wouldn't go over 5 inches, but then again I am 5'7 so that is going to make me look like an amazon. LOL

Whatever you do... Make sure you can walk in them and they don't distract from your body. This lady walked or should I say almost fell every time she walked because her shoes were so high. They were clear plastic and actually they were dreadful. I think I was watching her feet more then her upper body.
