Do you tend to get your heels stuck in a crack when walking down the street? Do your heels tend to break? Do you hate the pitter patter you make when walking with your gorgeous pumps on? Well ladies, you're prayers have been answered!
The answer is heel-less shoes!
The idea of the heel-less shoe is not quite that new actually. The idea has been around for a while. It's been in the, let's say, experimentation stages. But of course, who else dare to really wear it? None other than Mrs. Bend It Like Beckham. The heel-less boots she wore were designed by Antonio Berardi about a year ago. It was first seen at his Paris show last year. (

It also has shown up at Nina Ricci's Fall 2009 show.
So what do you guys think about the heel-less shoe? Honestly, I don't think it will ever make it out of the experimental stages. It is simply not appealing to the average consumer to wear a heel-less shoe. To me, most often the art and beauty of a shoe is its heel. It does not look comfortable, or wise to even stand in them for more than two minutes. Heels are already no good because of the pressure it puts on our feet and back, but heel-less shoes? Shoes that lack a heel which means ALL the pressure will be at the balls of your feet which means even MORE pressure on your feet and back? No thank you, I'll pass.
P.S. Oh yeah, there's something even MORE ridiculous than heel-less shoes. Check out frontless shoes, yeah shoes with just a heel and no front? Yeah huh? (

Yeah, frontless shoes.
THIS SHOULD NEVER, EVER BE CREATED CAUSE SOME PEOPLE JUST NEED TO COVER THEIR FEET AT ALL TIMES!
I rather the heel-less shoe after seeing this, no?
