Painfully Agonizing Pumps

The Christian Loboutin 8-Inch Heels are Crazy Killer Kicks

The Christian Loboutin 8-Inch Heels are well on their way to rush you to the hospital, taking the term "to die for" a step further.

Many girls around the world would kill for a Christian Louboutin shoe, and this 8-inch, sky-rocketing set of heels will bring the brand name to new heights of icon status. A true sight for "sole" eyes, the two distinctive pairs were designed by Christian Louboutin for two different events. The first pair of black, back-breaking stilettos were designed for the Fetish exhibit at the Galerie du Passage in Paris; the second beige pair of heart-thumping killer heels, which are studded with Swarovski crystals (sigh), were designed for a charitable auction to support the English National Ballet last year.

Both pairs of cut-throat, 8-inch heels are drop-dead gorgeous, though I'm sure, terribly painful to wear.
