The shoes are a fruit punch of banana, pineapple, grapes, apples and strawberries. The heels are also hand-stitched and attached to a wooden heel. The heel measures about 5.5 inches and boasts a 1-inch platform for added height.
The 'Bananas Is My Business' heels are perfect to wear for a summer picnic and would make anyone want to munch on a banana. The shoes come from Charlotte Olympia's 'Blame It On Rio' collection for 2011.
