How to make higher shoe base?

[Anouk]

Hello lovely and clever forum folk.

For all my years in SL I haven't been using shoe bases in forever as I just adjusted my hover height, but I have only just learned why it is better to use a shoebase, as this prevents adjusted hover heights from messing with furniture sits and other pose heights (duh).

So figured I need to start wearing shoe bases but the first pair of shoes I want to wear is at the wrong height, even wearing the base that comes with them. (They're nothing unusual - just a regular pair of high heel stilettos). My avi also isn't anything unusual (other than being goddam gorgeous, of course ) so not ridiculous tall Amazonian height or anything like that.

I've done a bit of research and found a tutorial that just shows the obvious stuff about editing heel and platform height of a shoe base, walking around to set the height etc.

But even with maxed out height sliders I can't set the shoes to just the right height so they're not slightly sunk into the floor.

Is this an SL limitation, or something to do with system shoe bases not working 100% with my Slink mesh body, or am I missing something else?

Ta everso xx

nowadays you dont need to have a shoebase., you just adjust your hoverheight.

As far as I know, the maximum "shoe" height you can have can be achieved by setting Shoes > Heel Height to 100 and Shoes > Platform Height to 100. If you want to get taller, follow Eku's advice and adjust Body > Hover. (^_^)

In general I think swapping shoe bases is easier than screwing with hoover height every time you change shoes. But this is of course an option for when you want to go much higher than the shoebase allows of course.

Thanks folks. I just wasn't sure if I was missing something glaringly obvious. I have just been adjusting hover heights but it is a PITA to keep faffing about with that so wondered if there was a more consistent way to avoid having to do that x

If you or somebody else want ready made shoe bases for any height, contact me in-world - as ChinRey Resident in SL or Tess Juel at Kitely/opensim.

I made a complete set in 0.5 cm increments a while ago and I'm giving them away to anybody who asks
