Heels
May 25, 2008 · Print This Article
If women seem taller these days, it’s because they are - thanks to an array of skyscraper shoes currently available online. Givenchy’s open-toe, gladiator heels feature a 4.3-inch heel. Gucci’s studded Bobouska heels are a towering 4.1 inches. And Stella McCartney’s wedges stand five inches tall.
These are just a handful of skyscraper shoes now available. Everyone from executives to soccer moms to celebrities has adopted the trend. A symbol of sensuality and elegance, the high heel shoe is an indispensable accessory for all kind of social events. There are heel styles for all preferences and personalities - kitten, stiletto, platform, wedge and pump.
Velvet textures, faux snakeskin heels and patent leather similar to the Dita Von Teese pin up style are a popular trend. Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik or Prada are some of the most beloved brands, appealing to actresses like Sarah Jessica Parker or Angelina Jolie, who not doubt have preferences for peep toe pumps. Shorter women like Eva Longoria and Jennifer Aniston complement their looks with high heels, as there’s no denying that a sexy tall heel elongates more petite legs.
With the new, rich-media imaging technologies used on shoe shopping sites like Zappos and Endless, we love zooming in on sexy, trendy cutouts or jewel detailing on any heel in the massive online inventory. We can even click the rotate button to see the shoe from every possible angle. The zoom button enables us to evaluate the finer details, right down to the quality of the stitching. This sophisticated technology is great news for shoe lovers. With hassle-free return policies, there’s now absolutely no barrier to shopping for heels online.
