hmmm...

Ever wanted to walk around all day on your tippy toes? Me neither.

For any of you that HAVE had that desire, you now have your chance. It'll just cost you $3600.

Designer Antonio Berardi came up with these heelless shoes, and apparently Uma Thurman & Victoria Beckham have been among the first to place orders for them.

I can't imagine that these things would be comfortable, even though the articles I've read say, "...the shoes are extremely heavy, because they are deliberately weighted in the platform base under the toe. This means that all your weight is forced forwards and then downwards, so you literally cannot tip backwards and there isn't any of that teeter-totter nonsense you get with normal heels..."

Well that's cool. Already being about 5'8", I tend to teeter a bit in heels over about an inch high. However, without a heel, these shoes can't be very good for your back or feet. You'll be leaning forward (even if you don't notice it) since there is no heel there to stabilize you. The ball of your foot will be taking the weight of the bulk of your body, stretching the muscles and tendons.

Not to mention the fact that at least I would be SUPER hot flamin' pissed if I dished out $3600 for a pair of shoes that were defective and OBVIOUSLY missing a piece!!!
