Madness in fashion Land

"Not so long ago, high heels were defined as 3 or 4 inches -- a footnote to give a little height and a more appealing silhouette to the wearer. But this fall, shoes have been supersized with the proliferation of 5-, 6- and even 7-inch heels and platforms." This is a quote out of Women Fall Head Over Heels for Shoe Makers' Arch Designs by Teri Agins that describes the new trend of ever taller heels for women in high fashion. Many of the super high high heels that have begun to be sold on the commercial level have been doing very well despite the dangers they can create. When you are walking with a three foot pillar under the back of your foot it is hard enough, but to than add an extra three even four inches to that and you are talking balancing on a tight wire insane. I can understand them from the fashion creaters view, I mean cause they're always getting crazier and crazier, it is just crazy though to think of normal people buying them. I doubt that this new trend will really catch on at all considering how impractical seven inch heels are. They are pretty darn dangerous, you could get hurt at any wrong step, that is something that someone should not have to worry about. Too me these new heights are just the fashion world kind of having a crazy thought, like some runway dream. I find it funny and quite honestly wait on my heels for the next crazy thing out of the fashion world.
