These handy high heels are one part chic, one part creepy and entirely bizarre. Since they were designed by Charlotte Olympia, that should come as no surprise. Known for her outlandish designs and boundless creativity, these [platform booties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops) make quite the statement. Dubbed Hands On, they are made for women who wish they could caress their feet on a minute basis.

Flesh colored and tipped with sparkling red nails, the handy high heels are made out of soft suede. People will wish that they actual hands were as soft. Although quite simple overall, the handy high heels could easily be the finishing touch on a [unique Halloween costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-clog-pennywise). The festivities are coming up next month after all. Or perhaps it will simply add a unique touch to safe wardrobes this fall.
