The Platforms
A great way to add height on your legs is to pick platforms. Make sure the heel is as wide as the top part of the shoe if the bottom part is a different color a darker color at the bottom is the best option. Unless like this example, the difference is very slight. Skinny stilettos are the best ones to make your legs looks slender.

Just be careful how you use them and what you match them with.
Stay away from gladiator shoes. They will make you look smaller than what you are. Here is how a Gladiator sandal look like. Unless they are gladiator high heels and they don't go over half of your calf. Use them with a mini skirt or shorts and you would look like a diva.
Nefertiti - Nude Cow Suede Mia Limited Edition
Clogs
Clogs are the type of shoes that have wood soles and leather top. They are heavy and rustic. If you like this style you must select one who doesn't have the typical heavy sole. A way to create this is to select styles like this one who is a little bit sleek.
Darcie - Black
Flogg from chinese laundry
Avoid any heavy wide designs over the foot because that will create a lot of distraction towards your feets and shorten the length of your legs. If you like them a lot (because they are gorgeous) you must wear them with skirts that go over the knees (mini skirts)

Even that platforms are good for petite women not all platforms are beneficial. You dont want to over do it and look like a tiny person in a huge brick. Careful with thick platforms that are too heavy and have layers they will make your feets look too heavy and your legs shorter than what they really are.
