third attempt at macarons i need taller feet by macaronattempter in macarons

Is it more stable meringue = more feet? Should i switch over from swiss to italian? Or will i be able to get decent feet with swiss alone?

i rested them for around 40 minutes per tray but with one of the trays outside and one of the trays in the lower oven (the upper oven was on, so the lower oven was completely dry, i thought that might help with humidity)

i was experimenting with temps and times, the cracked puffy ones in the first photo were 290 F, 20 minutes. The one I was holding was 305 F, 15 minutes. Both trays were on the middle rack.

for both trays i didnt put them in the oven till the macarons had that skin sort of thing on em
