Sarah Jessica Parker is 5 feet 2.5 inches (158.8 cm) tall, slightly below the average height for American women. She wears a shoe size 7 (US).
In a 2013 interview with Net-a-Porter’s online magazine, Sarah Jessica Parker revealed she’s opting for sneakers over high heels, following her doctor’s advice.
“For ten or so years, I literally ran in heels. I worked 18-hour days and never took them off. I wore beautiful shoes, some better made than others, and never complained,” the actress said.

After spraining her ankle while filming the movie “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” in which she intentionally wore less expensive shoes to stay true to her character as a working mom, Sarah Jessica Parker sought medical help.
The foot doctor delivered unexpected news, telling her that her foot had undergone unusual stress and formation due to years of wearing high heels.

“I went to a foot doctor and he said, ‘Your foot does things it shouldn’t be able to do. That bone there…. You’ve created that bone. It doesn’t belong there.’ The moral of the story is, the chickens are coming home to roost. It’s sad, because my feet took me all over the world, but eventually they were like, ‘You know what, we are really tired, can you just stop — and don’t put cheap shoes on us?’”

In February 2014, Katie Couric interviewed Sarah Jessica Parker about what motivated her to launch her own shoe brand.
Earlier opportunities never seemed right. I kept saying, “This just isn’t what I imagined.” If I’m going to ask people for their hard-earned dollars, I’d better be making shoes I want to wear. About a year ago, I was about to sign with this big company, and I was hemming and hawing. I realized my real dream was a smaller line, my name, built in Europe, at a reasonable price point. Beautiful, simple shoes, the kind I remember from when I first came to New York – the Maud Frizons, the Charles Jourdans. And the person I would most like to partner with was George Malkemus, who runs the Manolo Blahnik brand. But I thought, well he’s kind of otherwise engaged. Still, I called him and said “George, I have this crazy idea.” And he said, “Be at my office tomorrow.”
