In an image that would make even Lady Gaga wince, a new platform shoe is being released next year which has a whopping 9 inch heel. The Sky Heel will be the tallest shoe available to regular customers and is so high that few footwear manufacturers, until now, would not dare to make them.
Thanks to the Poker Face singer and celebrities like Victoria Beckham who never leaves home without an at least 5 inch stiletto, shoe lovers have started to demand more monstrous heels. A-list designers like Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent have long favoured the super-stiletto and their expensive creations are firm favourite with actresses, supermodels and fashionistas.
But the Sky Heel, available in sparkly red or gold will not cost an arm and a leg at under $100 a pair - although navigating on the sky high heel might take some balance practice.
A spokesman for the firm said the design was inspired 'by the catwalk for the sidewalk'.
