Uber-high heels - Is pain the price of fashion?

Posted Oct 21st 2008 at 2:02PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

Not all fashionistas wear heels, but we doubt any stylish woman's eyes don't light up a little when she sees a really beautiful stiletto. Really high heels are really a work of art -- as is walking in them. But, that's not stopping women around the world from reaching for heels that have half a foot or more of height.

Madonna takes a shot at fashion with Chanel gun shoes

Filed under: Shoes, Celebrities with Style

The Material Girl has come under fire many times in her career for her unique fashion sense, and she's not about to stop now. For the premiere of her new film, Filth and Wisdom (Madge is making her directorial debut), she wore a pair of Chanel stilettos with a handgun as the heel.

Why aren't you wearing this? L.A.M.B. Mitaka Heel

Posted Sep 25th 2008 at 10:03AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


While a neutral shoe is always a good investment, we have one problem with them -- they can be boring. Even though we know that they'll look fabulous, and elongate our leg, we just have a hard time wearing a shoe that, in the box, makes us yawn.

That's why we love this Mitaka Heel by L.A.M.B. in gray, available for $354.99 at Heels.com. It does everything a nude shoe needs to do, but it does it with some extra style. Instead of simply being a shoe we'd wear with an outfit needing a neutral, we'd search out ensembles to wear with these shoes!

Heelarious shoes for babies - Because it's never too early for her first stiletto

Posted Sep 15th 2008 at 8:27AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Style in the News, Shoes, Kids and Babies


Who knew a baby shoe could cause such an uproar? Heelarious is a new brand of baby shoes designed to look like a high heel -- and while some people think it's cute and funny, others are really disturbed.

We find it quite amusing -- after all, if the kid isn't even on her feet yet, aren't shoes in general slightly superfluous? And, if you're a well-known shoe lover, we think your friends would appreciate the humor of buying your daughter baby heels. If not, are you sure you really want to hang out with them? Because we sure don't.

Why aren't you wearing this? Peep-toe Oxford Pump

Posted Sep 3rd 2008 at 8:06AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Daily Obsession, Must Haves


We're seeing a lot of heeled shooties (shoe-like boots) this season, and, truth be told, we're not falling all over ourselves for them. We know that a heavier shoe is hot and all, but some of them just seem a little awkward -- like they'd cut off the leg in a bad spot, and some just don't have much style. These, however, we want.

Though we love to scout the runways for trends on our own, we were totally inspired by Neiman Marcus' "Fall's Magnificent Seven" ad campaigns that have been flooding our inbox all week.

Why aren't you wearing this? Paris Hilton Catalina Heel

Posted Aug 12th 2008 at 4:26PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


Yep, you read that right. This beautiful shoe comes to us courtesy of Paris Hilton. We didn't want to like her shoe collection, but, the fact of the matter is, she's got some hot shoes in there, and this is one of our favorites for several reasons.

First of all, we love a bright red shoe, and this Catalina Heel (available at Heels.com for $78.99) certainly covers that. It also comes in a bunch of other colors, if you're not partial to ruby slippers.

Cat Deeley's sexy stilettos

Posted Jul 14th 2008 at 1:28PM by Christina Warren

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes, Celebrities with Style, Daily Obsession


On Thursday night's So You Think You Can Dance, we had just one thought on our mind. No, not which couple would be eliminated (I think we all saw the writing on the wall for Comfort and Thayne LAST week), our focus was squarely on the lovely Cat Deeley and her fabulous shoes.

Let's talk about the shoes, which the images we grabbed from our TiVo just can't do justice. They are fantastic. They are stiletto Jimmy Choo sandals in black with gold (we think) accents. We could not find the exact shoe on Jimmy Choo's website, but this style and this style are similar.

We're in love.

Woman needs surgery after being stabbed by stiletto

Why must fashion be so hazardous to our health? As if it weren't enough that women are getting stabbed by their bras, and injured by their thongs, now stilettos are attacking too! A woman in Seattle needs surgery after a little run in with her night on the town high heels.

Chanel's new shoes are cocked and loaded

Filed under: Runway Trends, Accessories, Shoes, Polls and Quizzes


Talk about dressing to kill! At Resort 2009, Chanel brought out the big guns, err, literally. In addition to the fashions, the models also brandished some pistol stilettos.

But these shoes weren't just for the show, Lagerfeld and Co. will actually be selling these .22 caliber heels! We know Bonnie & Clyde were fashion icons, but gun shoes? Really?

So StyleList wants to know, would you buy these shoes? Take their poll this week and let them know if these are something you would like to ar yourself with, or if the whole concept turns you off.

What could be more romantic and elegant than an evening soiree under a white tent? You have the stars above, a summer breeze blowing softly, and undoubtedly beautiful (and flattering) lighting. You'll have no problem finding the right dress, but we'd like to take a second to talk to you about shoes.

Why aren't you wearing this? Manolo Blahnik Metallic Mary Jane

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes, Must Haves


If you're going to splurge on an insanely fabulous pair of shoes, you need to ask yourself this question: Do I want a classic style that will always work, or do I want something amazingly trendy that will turn everyone's head? Because, you know, you can't have it all.

That is, unless you have these.

What do high heels and 600 pound gorillas have in common?

Posted Apr 26th 2008 at 9:12AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Celebrities with Style


There's no doubt that we love the way our legs look in extremely high heels -- put us in a 4" or 5" heel, and we'll show you legs that seem to go on forever, like our pal Gwyneth Paltrow over to the right. However, the New York Times recently had an article about the high, high heel and how women walk in them.

And, of course, the answer is the same as how one would move a 600 pound gorilla -- very carefully.

When shopping is a sport: Sprinting in stilettos

Posted Mar 16th 2008 at 3:30PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes

stiletto race
I wish I had been there, if not to actually race and possibly win a cash prize, then just to watch the spectacle.

In Amsterdam last week, 150 young women raced down the city's most famed fashion street, PC Hooft, in order to win a $15,000 prize. A race with a fairly decent-sized cash prize...so what? They were wearing stiletto heels in a competition that has the motto of "Shopping is a sport." The minimum height requirement on heels is 3½ inches.

I'd actually just like to know which shoes had heels that were strong enough to withstand the pounding on the pavement. I want them.

Ask StyleList: How high before it's a stiletto heel?

Posted Oct 15th 2007 at 6:10PM by Annie Scott

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Ask StyleList

Bruno Frisoni Gold-Tipped StilettoStyleLister Devin recently wrote in asking:

At what point is a heel considered "stiletto?"

Glad you asked because the stiletto heel, which is usually 2" or more, is my favorite kind! First, let's be clear that "stiletto" refers to an entire style of the heel, not just the height. Anything above two inches would be considered stiletto, though most of the time, we seem to see stiletto heels stretching it out to a good four inches!

There are plenty of heels out there that tower at four to five inches, but the stiletto also refers to the shape. The name actually comes from the stiletto dagger, which is very narrow before it comes to its sharp point, thus the stiletto heel itself is quite narrow, coming to a point on the ground that is 1 cm in diameter or less.
