16" Stilettos

Sky-High Shoes Are World's Tallest

These horrible shoes are among the world's ugliest and confirmed as the highest pair of heels on the planet. There are so so many gorgeous beautiful high heels out there, even ones that are impossible to walk in and are for fetish purposes only.

I don't know what is more offensive about these shoes: their style, their color or the cheap PR stunt with no thought for design.

Implications - Many women continually desire to emulate the sky-high runway models shown on catwalks, and as a result of this, stiletto heels are enormously popular. The leg-lengthening ability of high heels is an example of how products that allow consumers to transform into their 'better' selves has proven to be highly successful.
