Well since I'm on a roll after mentioning Natacha Marro's red glittering heel-less pumps, I coincidentally ran into more photos of heel-less pumps at trendhunter.com. These shoes will amaze you, as they did me. Only because this isn't something you see everyday on a woman's feet. Now these shoes were spotted quite a bit in 2009 runways shows, but the question is now 'Are they for show or will a profit be made?' Nina Ricci showed some pretty incredible (but almost scary) 11" "stilts" in her Fall 2009 runway shoe. The idea obviously worked considering no one got hurt. This is what New York magazine said about the shoes:
“Take a look at the heel-less, stilt-like shoes at Nina Ricci. Fabulously creative, right? The sky-high height combines platform and stilettos, adding about eleven inches to the already leggy models. And the careful detailing makes them even more distinctive (not that the shoes need it) — some feature laces, buckles, rhinestones, and satin. From what we can tell, not one model fell, which proves the theory that heel-less shoes are easy to walk in. Now that’s the power of platforms. And gravity"
