Victoria Beckham Styles in High Stilletos
Victoria Beckham styled it up in her orange Christian Louboutin 5 inch stilletos as she met up with pal Eva Longoria. But doesn’t Beckham look likes she is tottering along more than walking along?
The long, thin, gold-painted Louboutin heels seem to offer little in the way of support - though they look wonderfully sexy.
We all know how Victoria Beckham feels about high heels, and how they boost her brain power, but just maybe these 5 inch silletos are a tad too high?
Red Heels Gone Cute!
Are these not cute? Mary Jane takes on a sexy sheen with these shoes by Two Lips. The red patent leather is hot, in my humble opinion, but if it isn’t your favorite, the shoe also comes in white, yellow and black. While stilletos are sexy and glamorous, these chunky 3 1/2 inch heels are fabulous in their own right!
Zappos has these fun Mary Janes from Two Lips for $83.00. A fun shoe for a fairly fun price!

5 Tips For Wearing Your Sexy Shoes Ala Sex and The City
So you know we’re going to keep doing it. Even though we’ve been warned about the permanent foot damage that can occur, even though we’ve personally suffered the callouses, blisters and cramped toes, women are still going to buy, lust, dream of, and most assuredly wear high heels.
But it never hurts to get some advice for wearing our sexy stilletos, especially when it comes from Eve Michaels, Beverly Hills image consultant, and president-elect of the California Podiatric Medical Assn., Daniel Altchuler, Santa Monica podiatrist.
Michaels shared her top five tips on wearing “Sex and the City” shoes with The Los Angeles Times, and Altchuler graciously contributed to the discussion with some of his own comments and advice.
Here are some pointers from the article:
The ball of the woman’s foot must line up with the ball of the shoe. Altchuler says that is where most people go wrong. The pattern of the shoe must match the shape of the woman’s foot.
Michaels suggests that women buy pointy-toed shoes a half size larger than their normal size; Altchuler says that is not necessary. Guess that means we just go with what feels best on our feet?
They both agree however, that some high heels women will wear are not meant to do anything other than pose for the cameras, sit on a barstool ( looking oh so sexy..I’m sure they meant to add that!), and are basically not meat for walking and /or dancing around in.
A shoe should feel comfortable when you try it on at the shoe store, agree Michaels and Artchuler, but whereas Michaels will give a heel up to three wearings to feel great, Artchuler says no way—the shoe should feel great right from the get go.
Michaels points out that the weight of the woman’s feet must be on her heels, not thrust onto the balls of her feet, so as to avoid discomfort. But Artchler says that to avoid the foot from jamming forward, a heel cannot be higher than an inch and a half. Oh My.
Lastly, Artchuler suggests women shop for our precious shoes to do so late in the day, because feet swell as the day goes on, and you’ll get a more realistic fit.
The best advice here…wear those sexy stilletos to your next party and sit around looking fabulous! When it’s time to dance…slip the shoes off!
