There is a recall of about 3,200 pairs of Charles David shoes by the Consumer Product Safety Commission today which are sold through Nordstrom. Apparently the heel can detach and the wearer runs the risk of falling.
After a night of dancing, sometimes the last thing you want to do is head home in your stiletto heels. One chap in Britan had an aha moment after getting tired of giving his girlfriend a piggyback home every Saturday night and came up with a solution – vending machines that sell flats! Brilliant!
A woman that was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement charges of possibly 9.9 million had used the money for things like remodelling her home, as well as some serious shopping. This includes lots of expensive clothes, over 400 pairs of shoes, and a pair of Italian shoes that were $4,000 for the pair. A tragedy really, as her actions led to a lot of people getting laid off. But I have to admit that I’m curious what her closet looked like. More
Rumor has it that a new arrival of stilettos from French shoe designer Christian Louboutin will set a new benchmark in mainstream fashion.
The Sky high high heels are said to be a mere 8 inches. That’s a full inch more than vertical daredevil stiletto fans like Victoria Beckham and Gwyneth Paltrow dare to wear now.
“You can find 7.9in heels in the fetish trade, but this will be the first time they make mainstream fashion,” says Louboutin.
“There will be a platform under the front of the shoe, but only a high heel at the back. It has to work technically because you have to ensure that the woman can walk – you have to do things inside the shoe.
“To me, the ultimate high heel looks just like a perfect drawing, that would be true beauty; like a drawing of the ultimate skyscraper.”
Louboutin said one customer had even asked him to design her a pair of 10in stilettos.
Experts now say the unnatural stance women adopt when wearing killer heels can affect their internal organs and fertility. It’s suggested that the forward tilting of the pelvis caused by wearing stilettos means that the internal organs are compressed, causing a condition called visceroptosis.
What happened to a few weeks ago when another one of these experts claimed high heels may improve your sex life?
Doctors have warned the overindulgence of high heels can lead all kinds of problems, but most women can’t give up their heels. Sales have reportedly skyrocketed after seeing celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson and Victoria Beckham wearing stiletto heels.
Personally, I think both are unproven theories, but I prefer to believe in the latter.
Yesterday was the big race, with Kelly Ripa (from Regis & Kelly) hosting the March of Dimes benefit event called the High Heel-A-Thon in New York’s Central Park, along with sponsor Dr. Scholl’s.
Among the contestants of the 150 meter dash, one contestant (which did not win) stood out. Congratulations to Jill Stamison of Grand Haven, Michigan, was the fastest runner that had the required minimum three inch heels to qualify for the Guiness World Record. Her record time of 21.95 seconds is the new 150 meter record in high heels.
A British woman who broke her ankle after one of her high heels snapped is dancing to the tune of £7,200 compensation (that’s about US$14,200).
The shoe manufacturer admitted in Manchester County Court this week that King’s $72 heels were faulty and agreed to pay her compensation. The case could set a precedent for hundreds of other claims. Link
I thought this was interesting since I’ve seen a few women break a heel and wind up on their assets, fortunately they didn’t break their ankle. The woman mentioned above also had to take time off work.
Summer is in full swing, but we must keep an eye on fall fashions which are just around the corner. Here’s a peak at Christian Louboutin’s for fall… (Alta Dama, Eugénie, Bouclette, Armadillo, Cotton Club)
Interesting bit of news – it’s said that the current shoe boom can expect 10% growth in the industry over the next few years, and that its spurred on by what’s referred to as It-bag fatigue.
For shoe retailers, this is gold. Although the profit margins between shoes and bags are comparable, people buy three times as many shoes as they do bags.
What’s it mean for shoe lovers? More choices to meet with the demand!
Shoe news from around the Web..
After 5 years of R&D, Skins is born. The idea for the shoes is that customers buy one set of “bones” (made-to-measure insoles) to be interchanged with a variety of soft, collapsible “skins” (uppers and outer soles) to create several stylish looks on one comfortable base.
A man has been charged with workers compensation fraud, after being spotted running a 40-yard dash in women’s clothing and high heels — at a time he had claimed he was too injured to work. The man had collected more than $5,000 in workers compensation after he reported a work-related injury in June. He’s accused of taking part in a radio station’s contest for Hannah Montana concert tickets last year. Not only did he have to dress in drag, but he had to carry an egg on a spoon.
And finally, footwear seems to be having its runway moment, and some are even blaming Louboutin for the runaway prices. But if one brand prices itself at a premium, is the industry to follow and then point the finger to that one individual?
