HHT, Trolldeg has his opinion, we have ours. Until one of us gets a ruler and gets our hands on Fergie's feet in those shoes this topic is open for argument. That's not what I'm here for.

five with a plat.

Hello, :wave: my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee!  👠1998 to 2022!

the platform is about half and inch but the heel arch then selves is easily 5.5 inch. unless she has the smallest feet in the world. My mother has size 5 shoes and her 5 inch heels dont look that extreme.

Now now ladies. Lets get back to the purpose of this thread. To show celebs in heels. Here are a few of my current additions.

You can continue with your wishful thinking, but that won't make it true...

How are you so sure thats not the case? Inquiring minds want to know....

Because:

The shoes are made by Versace, it's the SS08 collection.

Designers rarely make shoes higher than 5 inches without a platform.

Here is a similar shoe by Versace, it is described as having a 5 inch heel and a .75 inch platform.

Fergie is walking somewhat downhill in the picture, therefore you're tricked into thinking the heels are higher than what they really are.

The Daily Mail page was updated to show Gwyneth wearing flat sandals later today; I suppose she deserves a few hours off!

The Paccini shoes look hideous to me, and the heels are nothing like the 7" claimed - perhaps 5.5". And that includes at least 1" of clumpy platform.

The Zanotti nude courts look very nice, with commendably thin stilettos about 6" high. But they would look even better without that hidden platform, which makes them look top-heavy. High stilleto shoes or boots need no embellishment; they look much more elegant with a single sole and a tapered or pointed closed toe - and maybe a slingback or discreet bow or buckle. Keep open toes for strappy sandals, the more open and spindly the better!

Gwyneth Paltrow has had more than her share of press comment in the last week as a result of the shoes she has been wearing. If her aim was to secure personal publicity, it has certainly succeeded. If one Googles 'Gwyneth Paltrow shoe' or similar, many articles, photos and comments can be seen. Gwyneth is attractive enough without being an outstanding beauty and is clearly not cheap, immature or stupid. I am sure that many women can relate to her even though they cannot enjoy the same lifestyle. I wonder, however, whether she has done the high heels cause more harm than good? Whatever one thinks of the particular styles she has been wearing, the common factor has been that her heels were high (albeit usually with a platform and with the height invariably exaggerated by the journalists). We can appreciate the attention she has drawn to 'high' heels and the boost this may possibly give to supply and demand. But the press and public comment has been largely unfavourable, concentrating (rather predictably) on the usual issues of discomfort, heath and impracticability rather than the overall look or style (which have both also been attacked). There don't seem to have been many supporters out there. Maybe the erroneous belief that most of her heels were six or seven inches high has dampened enthusiasm amongst those women who could wear a five inch heel (without a platform) - or at least would be willing to try - and assume that Gwyneth's shoes provide a greater rise than that and are simply 'too extreme'. And, when the copies hit the high street shops, they may be ignored because of that association. I hope I'm wrong!
