The article says that the high heels are what causes the influence, while I suggest that it might merely be the difference in height.

Women of equal height wearing flats should have been used as a control group, and if they were as uninfluential as the shorter women wearing flats, then we would know it was the high heeled shoes. If, on the other hand, taller women in flats and shorter women made taller by high heels were equally influential than the shoes would be ruled out as the cause. The study was conducted with insufficient data.

I am 6'4" and seldom meet people of equal height. When I do, it has a considerable impact on me. Height matters.
