A HEELESS shoe? Is this necessary? The soles of this line of shoes by Antonio Berardi are apparently constructed in a way in which the heel is supported, yet left hanging in mid-air. A chiropractor's dream.
And what's worse: A missing heel or a misplaced heel?
This line of surreal, reverse-heel shoes by Marc Jacobs scream nothing but absurd, torturous, and dangerous to me. Obviously there is lack of support for your heel, which means your center of balance will be somewhere under the arch of your foot. If I see someone walking around in these, I would be SO tempted to just casually 'bump' into them and see what happens. I highly doubt I will have the chance, as these were clearly made for people with too much money who have a short walk from their limo to where they need to pose on the red carpet. We have similar shoes here in MN, only the heal is much flatter and longer, and they're called "skis."
And now, let's revisit our friend Antonio Berardi again. This particular pair of "up to there" boots can only be best modeled by our favorite British import, Posh.
These shiny, gravity-defying boots are constructed out of PVC. Yep, that same durable, plastic material used to make records and vinyl siding. These boots are wrong on so many levels. Questions...so many questions: How high exactly do these go up? Dear Lord...how sweaty are her thighs? How uncomfortable is it to have shoes in your hoo-ha? And again, where are the heels? Where are all the heels?! What have heels ever done wrong to be carelessly tossed aside in the designers' creations? So I am on a "Save the Heels!" mission. In this economy, my sole (pun intended) concern is for the welfare of the heel market. I must keep this market alive by purchasing as many heeled shoes as possible, and I urge you to do the same. Boots, pumps, sling-backs...you name it. Stock up, girls! And explain to your husbands & boyfriends that it is for a good cause.

Okay, people seriously have too much time on their hands to figure out the physics of making something like this work, not to mention that they're ugly. I wholeheartedly plan to buy and wear as many heels as possible. Consider it my "economic stimulus plan."
Too funny -- I completely do NOT get Posh and why she's got a clothing line. I mean, how hard is it to figure out that your shoes should not make your crotch itch?? Perhaps if she ate something, she'd be able to think more clearly!
