11 Heels from Hell…

By Sheila Some time ago

Ah! A woman and her love for shoes…a tale as old as time, a mystery as mysterious as life itself. I will never quite get why Cinderella didn’t turn back to get the gorgeous glass shoe and chose the pumpkin carriage instead, silly spells be damned! Unless, the glass shoe was secretly… a shoe from hell…like these 17 heels from hell. What can I say, some shoes were just not made for walking!

1. Antonio Berdari Heel-less Boots

Victoria Beckham wore these Antonio Berdari latex heel-less thigh high boots to the Beckhams’ perfume launch in NYC back in 2008. Trust the fierce Mrs. Beckham to readily try gravity defying fashion stunts….and pull them off!

2. Christian Louboutin Extreme Ballerina Heels

Louboutins almost always make me gasp but this time for completely different reasons! Who in the world is going to walk in those and more importantly how?! Thankfully, these were meant to be solely an exhibition piece at David Lynch’s Fetish exhibition at the Galerie du Passage in Paris. Besides Louboutin himself said, “You can’t walk or run in these shoes.They’re only made for lying on your back.” Phew!

3. Eelko Moorer Wooden Stilts

While these “stilts” sort of defeat the purpose of wearing shoes in the first place, I have to say that they look intriguingly fantastic! Of course considering the creater Eelko Moorer studied 3D design along with a technical course in shoemaking and received his MA in product design, it is easy to see why his designs are so out there!

4. Alexander McQueen Geisha inspired Heels

I am a HUGE fan of Alexander McQueen’s work, god bless his soul. But these double planked heels are drecktitude personified! Yeah, I’m not breaking my feet for those.

why cant someone make hot shoes with kitten heels, that women can wear in their daily lives. i see tons of cute shoes i want but their to high to walk around in all day ... See more and i hate having to wear flats all the time. if anyone knows where to get kitten heels with a good look let me know.

  Salvatore Farregamo makes a lot of beautiful kitten heels, also check out zappos.com. I saw quite a few in beautiful colors and prints.

  Hey Kathi,
  We can certainly do a post on kitten heels! Btw, I don’t think these shoes were made for walking. They’re mostly just an expression of the designers’ creativity.

  Yeah, pretty much all the shoes in this post are freaky. Artistic… but still freaky.

  I totally agree with you what you said. However, I think that this article was just to show extreme shoe designs. I don’t think any sane woman would wear this on a normal working day.

  I doubt one can actually wear #9. I mean, can paper really bear someone’s body weight? #4 I don’t care for much but #5 I agree is STUNNING! Thanks for reading hun :)

  I think paper can take my body weight. Being a shoeholic I sometimes design my shoes and wear them. I once made a pair with papers and pitchboard for a theme party….I danced in those. ... See more But yes it was the first and last time I wore them. I know #4 is not appealing for most of the people but it reminds me of something dear…so liked it.

Wow. I would certainly wear either of the McQueen shoes, or numbers 5 (if they actually go on feet o_O) or 6. I blame shortness.

  Haha. I hear you. I’m obsessed with heels but I think I’ll stick to my boring black and red pumps for height. These are way too scary for me.

  You have to admit that those are artistic looking shoes. Though I wonder how your feet would feel after an hour of wearing them….
