Vogue UK: Alexander McQueen Runway Shoes Actually 12 Inches High
Remember the wild hoof shoes that the models wore in the Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2010 show? Well, the editors at Vogue UK got a pair and were shocked at a) how tall they really were and b) how impossible they were to walk in. The editors whipped out their digital cameras and documented the experience of trying to even stand up in the Armadillo shoes, as they dubbed them.
First off, the shoes are actually 12" high. The editor who tried them on only made it as far as the Vogue fashion closet before giving up, totally defeated. We're thinking that they must have auditioned all the models for that show and quite a few probably couldn't walk in the heels. And, amazingly, no one broke an ankle.
If you still haven't seen the absolutely amazing show, you can see the whole thing
