Gwyneth Paltrow’s shoes
Posted on April 25th, 2008 by Shomore under Ask the Shoebloggers, Celebrity Shoe Style, Giuseppe Zanotti ShoesIt’s been a while since I’ve read or seen anything on former Oscar winner, Gwyneth Paltrow. However, recently the internet is abuzz with discussions not on Gwyneth’s latest movie (Iron Man) but her choice of stilleto stunners. They are quite the antithesis of what you would expect from the soft spoken actress, wouldn’t you say?
Reader Mike asked us to ID these 7-inch booties which were seen on Gwyneth.

Originally, I thought they might be a hybrid of one of these shoes from the John Galliano Fall 2008 collection, especially due to the tassels, platform, and the bondage and outrageousness of the shoe, but I was incorrect.
Shoesense (thanks!) discovered that the Sun had identified them as being heels made by designer Guiseppe Zanotti. Apparently, they were so high that Gwyneth required support to help her balance and walk properly. Gwyneth has quite the gams to show off, but the mere thought of how painful these might be should, logically, deter any rational human being from getting anywhere close to these shoes much less shell out major bucks for them. Wrong again on my part. There is a wait list for these shoes now. Sigh.
Other sky high contraptions for pain seen on Gwyneth include (from top to bottom): Givenchy peep-toe boots, Burberry boots, and the more easily identifiable Christian Louboutins.

[...] I think I’m the only one in the world left who actively likes Gwyneth Paltrow. And dagnabbit, I like her sense of style, too. Not always the most flattering, this is true, but she shops outside the lines, and in a way that I usually think looks great on her.So, seeing her out and about for her Iron Man publicity tour has been fun for me. And boy, has she been parading the insanely high heels lately! [...]

She always has some great shoes. Blending underground with street style.

I have always liked Gwyneth’s sense of style but I think it’s ridiculous to wear a shoe you can’t balance yourself in. No designer is worth taking a public fall for. I love shoe designers like you would not believe but a designer who would do this to a client who is paying a considerable sum (but in her case they were probably gifted) is not really client conscious. I love a good high high heel but not to wear I’m going to sacrifice safety and come out looking foolish.
