Super Stilettos

Remember when super-high heels were called stilettos? Yeah, well, in today’s super-size society, we’re seeing an increase in super-high stilettos. It’s been decided this evolution of stilettos deserves a category all their own, akin to super cars and supermodels. Let me introduce you, if you haven’t met, to the super stilettos.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been spotted all over in variations of the super stiletto, going as high as six and seven inches. Six and seven inch skinny heels! It’s reported she required an assistant to lean on when she wasn’t standing still. How cool can that look? It’s one thing to push the envelope and indulge in some trends; quite another to require physical support from another person to actually pull off the look. I mean, didn’t we give up on having women get laced into their corsets by their mothers around the time that the Titanic sunk?

Super stilettos have been produced by numerous footwear companies. Some of the super stilettos featured recently on celebs have been from Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, and Giuseppe Zanotti.

Barbaric and uncomfortable as it is, we are here to report on the trends. If you find yourself drawn to these heels, you’re not alone. Just make sure you save some money for some chiropractic adjustments after you suffer for fashion!
