Curved heels, anyone?
Posted on March 9th, 2007 by shoesense under Christian Dior Shoes, High heels, Prada & MiuMiu ShoesWhat do you think of this season’s trend of inward-curved heels? They started to crop up a little bit too much not to notice. Heres’ a Dior chunky platform:
And here’s a Prada exaggerated curved-heel pump:
Aside from the fact that they look kind of impossible to walk in, I just wonder what do they do for your sillhouette? I mean, what you wear is supposed to enhance your physique somehow, and when it’s high heels, they’re supposed to make you look longer, leaner, more elegant. I just can’t shake the feeling that these heels make you look more like Satan’s minion than a fashion minion. What do you think?

I do like the idea of the inward-curving heel. I just couldn’t wear them if they were anywhere near that high. I have a couple pairs of shoes that have heels that curve like that, but they’re much lower. I’m not sure how much it does or doesn’t enhance the physique any differently from a straight heel, but as a stylistic piece of creativity, I like it very much.

I have the Prada pump and have to say it is very comfortable to wear - you don’t much feel the curve.
