The Higher The Heel, The Closer To God

Eyeshadow, mascara, bronzer, concealer, lipstick, and lip gloss aside......we are very obsessed with feet around here.

No, we're not freaky foot fetishers - we just have what we'll call a healthy attention heels and the wearing of heels without falling flat on one's face.

These, I'm thinking, would not pass the without falling flat on one's face test.
These stilts from Alexander McQueen not only leave tracks not even a bounty hunter could read, but are they hiding tiny rocket launchers in the heel? Are they dual-purpose cement grinders? On the plus side, should anyone require emergency pictures to be hung on a nearby wall, these shoes double as hammers.
Antonio Berardi designed these because, "when you walk, it is almost on tiptoe. You look really dainty." Apparently coming from a man who has never actually tried walking on tiptoes. These look like props from those campy Mentos commercials, where some clever girl snaps her heel off, pops a Mentos, and manages to sashay down Madison Avenue on broken shoes. In real life, however, these wouldn't earn you anything other than a trip to ER.

I love heels...really, really love heels...but I'm sitting this trend out.

Thanks to Newbury Diaries for making my feet hurt.
