High Heels Blog

In the Spring ‘08 collection of Antonio Berardi there was a bit of a surprise as a model walked down the catwalk in this heel-less heel.

For those of us who aren’t buying our heels at Nordstrom (at least not all the time) we are going to have to wait for these to hit the mainstream before buying. They are currently going for right around $1,100 - and being snatched up by stars like Uma Thurman.

While at first glance, these high heels might look impossible to walk in, if you think about the way your mother taught you to walk in heels (toe-heel vs. the clunking of heel-toe) you’re not really putting much pressure on your heel when you walk in high heels anyway.

These shoes are great for a date, or other activity where you won’t mind walking like a ballerina in toe shoes for a little bit, and the drama of the shoe is well worth the little bit of extra effort to keep your balance.

Just when you thought the high heel was becoming a classic that could not be redefined, the runway shows us you can have a high heel…without the heel.

This is one example of how toying with a classic can produce an interesting and wearable piece of art. Do you think you could walk in these sexy snakeskin high heels? Are they something you would be willing to wear out on the town?
