Toes would be fine.
Tyres - not so fine!

 

[hmtiling]

Yes.

even sub 6mm against recommendation?

No. 6mm magnum by florim was what i had in mind on floors. I'd be a tad worried about 4mm like laminam/porcelthin with Ditra. Maybe then rapid-mat to lose compression risk.
Even so, in a domestic without billiard tables it'd probably be fine.
I know what you're getting at.

paragraph 7 - "Neutralising stresses by uncoupling the building structure from the tile is particularly important with the use of today's thinner, larger-format tiles and lightweight building materials. "

Have they added to this now???

If solid-bedded, I'd be very amazed if a high heel could damage 4mm porcelain on ditra.
Not saying it's impossible but I can't see it myself, even with a 24 stone lady in louboutins!

Any of our resident porcelthin experts willing to perform a test?

I agree a chubby lady in heels may struggle to damage a thin tile installed correctly on ditra but dropping a heavy object may do.
I think a thin/void free decoupler would be more suited to thin porc. It's all about minimising risk imo.
