Very high-heeled shoes are not designed for everyday wear. They are designed for fashion shows, photography and video. Only a few girls decide to wear breathtaking heels, as Lady Gaga does.
A few years ago, she became the owner of three pairs of unique shoes from Alexander McQueen from his spring-summer 2010 collection. These unusual platform shoes and 25-cm heels are called “Armadillo Heels”, because they look like a warship-battleship.
Three exclusive pairs of “armadillos” created from wood and python skin were put up for a charity auction. The starting price for each pair was $ 10,000. However, the shocking singer was determined to possess all three, so she raised the stakes by paying $ 295,000 for them.
Another rather strange Christian Louboutin ballet flats were created by the Maestro specially for the London art exhibition Shoes For Show. The purpose of the exhibition was to raise money for the English National Ballet.
Shoes have an 8-inch heel (a little over 20 cm), a signature red sole and are decorated with iridescent Swarovski crystals. Gorgeous in appearance, but at the same time completely not wearable. These shoes are designed to just put it on the shelf and enjoy.

Dimensions

Most girls are faced with the problem of buying shoes in an online store where you can see the pair you like only in the photo. In order not to be disappointed with the purchase, take an interest in the length of the insole. This will help you determine the size you need most accurately.
Measuring the length of the foot is very simple - you need to put it on a white sheet of paper, press it firmly to the floor and draw with a pencil. By measuring the distance between the toes and the heel, you will probably know the length of your leg.
For example, your leg is 25 cm long, which corresponds to 39 European sizes. It corresponds to 8 American and 6 British, which is important for those who shop in foreign stores.
It is more difficult for owners of legs of large, or vice versa, small sizes. Most often, shoes at 43, 42, 41 size have to be found in specialized stores. The same can be said shoes small 35, 34 and 33 sizes.
Previously, such shoes were a real shortage, shoes were rarely attractive in appearance, and the girls had to choose from a very meager assortment.
Today, many shoe factories have begun to produce beautiful shoes of large and small sizes, since there is still a certain demand for them. Therefore, now you can safely choose a design, style and pattern, like the girls whose leg corresponds to the standard dimensional grid.
