Storm Reid’s Height and Heels: How the 5ft 6½ Star Elevates Her Style With Designer Footwear

Standing at 5ft 6½ inches (168.9 cm)—a few inches above the average American woman’s height of 5ft 4 inches (162.6 cm)—Storm Reid often uses footwear to enhance her poised, confident presence. Wearing a US shoe size 8.5, she gravitates toward statement heels and sleek designer sandals that complement her tall, graceful frame while adding just the right touch of youthful flair.

Storm Reid and Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman star as sisters Rue and Gia Bennett in Euphoria, an American teen drama television series created by Sam Levinson. Much like her on-screen character, Reid’s off-screen style blends strength and sophistication—often elevated by fashion-forward shoe choices from brands such as Christian Louboutin, Prada, and Jimmy Choo.
