<p>Well, if you like those shoes, how about these Alexander McQueen shoes seen on the runway this past year:</p>
<p>[The</a> Shoes at Alexander McQueen Were Only Ten Inches High – The Cut](<a href=“http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/10/the_shoes_at_alexander_mcqueen.html]The”>The Shoes at Alexander McQueen Were Only Ten Inches High)</p>
<p>I like them as objets d’art, but how the models wearing them managed to get down the runway in them, I can’t even begin to imagine!</p>
<p>Wow, history repeats itself–those look like chinese foot-binding but this is supposed to be a decision voluntarily made and paid for by the wearer! YIKES!</p>
<p>For me, my ankles aren’t all that strong and tend toward wobbling. I am nervous even LOOKING at heels over two inches high as I do value my feet & ankles. D is OK with some heels of three inches, but she’s young and I have yet to see how long that will persist.</p>
<p>You missed the point. High heels are also weapons for women. Have you been stepped by accidentally?</p>
<p>Yea, but try running from danger in them without breaking your ankle & neck–good luck!</p>

<p>Women of any age who can wear heals deserve my attention for their confidence.
Likewise, women who can walk with confidence wearing anything, gets my attention.
Maybe its that certain sway. </p>
<p>I don’t get out much for the last two years. Invalid and near invalid inlaws and parents.</p>
<p>worknprogress: Some of the heels, including the boots, run a little small - I went up a half a size, but if you have a narrow heel that might not work. Order a couple of styles and send back what doesn’t work. I bought them on sale at Nordstrom online, and now is a good time to look for bargains, since stores are trying to clear inventory. They are a bit expensive but SOOO worth it!</p>
<p>Those Alexander McQueens are some seriously ugly shoes!!</p>
<p>Responding to the link in DonnaL’s Post #79 – </p>
<p>The poor woman who is wearing those shoes obviously has a congenital deformity – lack of toes. She’s very lucky to have found a pair of shoes that takes that into account. :rolleyes:</p>
