7 cm height = £1250.
8 cm height = £1800.
9 cm height = £2450.
10 cm height = £3200.
11 cm height = £4050.
12 cm height = £5000.
13 cm height = £6050.
14 cm height = £7200.
A notice of 1 metre by 50 cm explaining why the levy is necessary, such as foot pain, foot deformities, a change in back posture, knee osteoarthritis and balance impairment. arthritis, chronic knee pain, sprained ankles and breaks from rolling on high-heeled shoes.
