27 Heelorific Innovations

From Hooker GPS Platforms to Firearm Footwear

— June 17, 2009 — Fashion
Many women and men love high-heeled shoes. They just make walking look so much better!

Designers pay attention to every detail of a shoe during the design stage, and for many women's shoes, the heel is one of the most important parts.

This cluster looks at some of the fun shoe heels available, from those coasted in rhinestones, to crazy sculpture-like pieces.

Implications - Despite its simple nature, high heels have evolved over the years with unusual and even abstract designs from various brands. Whether or not these unique looks actually helps the wearer feel comfortable is another question, given the reputation of heels. Therefore, in addition to incorporating funky concepts, fashion companies should try to integrate functionality so that women don't have to suffer for fashion.
