Towering Thigh High Boots

Heidi Klum Dons Killer Footwear for Vogue Photo Shoot

Supermodel Heidi Klum was snapped while doing a photo session for German Vogue on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

In the photo shoot, Keidi Klum was wearing a pair of towering thigh-high leather boots designed by Alexander McQueen. The shockingly tall platform footwear resembles the heel-less shoes McQueen introduced as part of his Fall 2009 ready-to-wear collection at Paris Fashion Week.

The difference here, however, is that the garish footwear Heidi Klum is wearing features jaw-dropping skyscraper platform heels.
