Girl, We Couldn’t Get Much Higher

October 14, 2008 by WendyB

The Wall Street Journal has an article on super-high heels, such as these Versaces:


Personally, I’m loving these Michael Kors shoes.

They look like a good substitute for the Lanvins that got away.

UPDATED TO ADD: Loving this Marc by Marc Jacobs boot. It’s available at Barneys.

    I don’t understand heels like either of those. I’d like to think it’s not just because I’m a man. I fear I am missing some fundamental fashion truth.

    Hi there-oh yes, the Michael Kors are adorable, a stylish, timeless classic!

    Oooohhhh beautiful! I think I’m a short girl inside cause I’m automatically drawn to super high heels…

    Great article (and great timing on it, too!)– that was a very pleasurable read, and I definitely passed it on!

    Your Kors choice looks like a much “healthier” option to those Versace! Yikes!

    I think the kors shoes are so superb besides I prefer platforms cos, walking in the versace one might cause the prada ss09 falling or breaking leg action

    I prefer the Kors as well. Stilettos are only nice for ogling.

    dude i can’t believe women inject resatlyne to the balls of thier feet. the ones who can’t afford limosines.

    i’d much rather wear flats and have the restalyne in my face thank you very much.

    The Versace ones look a tad vulgar to me, but I do like the M. Kors ones.

    I prefer to have the Restlane under my eyes where it actually makes me look a little better.

    As a man who’s over 7 feet tall when I’m standing on a ladder, I say the higher the heel, the better.

    I second you on the Kors. I’m not a fan of the tall stilettos – I’ve seen too many women get them stuck in the sidewalks or have them break off completely.

    I was just about to say “heyyyyyyy, those look like the Lanvins from which your little toe tried to escape!”

    Will you get them?

  22. Becky says

    October 14, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    I tried on those Lanvins in Harrods. I fell down and the saleslady laughed at me.

    Bad memories. Stupid Alber Elbaz. (they are gorgegous shoes though, right?)

    Becky.

    I completely adore high heels.. It’s a pity my mom won’t let me wear anything higher than 3 inches because she thinks they’re hooker shoes.

    HOLY FREAKING HOTNESS that first pair is so kick ass!

    A nod to the Michael Kors shoes.

    at first glance i thought the kors WAS lanvin!

    Those Kors platforms are amazing … and would likely keep your toes in check!

    love the Michael Kors, but those buckle marc boots are the most perfect things.
