Aminaka Wilmont sole-less shoes: Style do or don't?

Posted Sep 30th 2008 at 5:10PM by Kyle Hepp

Filed under: Shoes



As if suffering through six inches heels isn't enough, now women have a new challenge to contend with -- wearing footwear that's basically the same as going barefoot.

Aminaka Wilmont introduced a new shoe during London Fashion Week that's sole-less -- and soulless if you think about the pain women who use this heel are going to feel.

Aside from the fact that the whole thing has no bottom, the footwear itself is kind of cute. But, to be honest, we can't imagine even the craziest fashionista wearing anything like this on the red carpet. A-listers don't want to ruin their perfectly pedicured tootsies. We're really not sure who Aminaka's target market is. Who can you see using a shoe like this?
