Designer Marc Jacobs has brought a whole new meaning to walking on your toes with the release of the world’s first back to front heel. “A chunky, four-inch heel nestles horizontally just under the ball of the foot,” Spluch.com clues us in. “Where you’d expect a heel, there is nothing but fresh air. The centre of gravity therefore is somewhere under the arch of the foot, forcing the whole body to tilt forward.”

To buy into the trend will cost you £270 ($540) for a plain pair and £330 ($660) for a more elaborate design decorated with metal swirls and Swarovski crystals. They are part of the American designer's 2008 collection, which attracted mixed reviews at New York fashion week. (spluch.blogspot)

I think he should get credit for his attempt and the originality of the idea. That being said, the shoes look rather uncomfortable and not at all like "backward" heels. I could see the reverse idea more clearly with the embellishment on the heel rather than the toe. The heel under the ball of the foot just looks clumsy, not fashionable, and I can imagine it would take time to learn how to walk in these.
