First Lady Melania Trump defied many of her fashion critics in Hollywood and the mainstream media by sporting snakeskin pumps as she boarded Air Force One Saturday on a flight to hurricane-ravaged Texas. The New York Post reports that she chose to wear snakeskin Manolo Blahnik pumps as she accompanied her husband on a second visit to the areas in Texas hit by Hurricane Harvey, this time to meet with the victims of the storm. President Trump faced a lot of criticism during his first visit to the disaster area because he spent his time meeting with state and local...

Meet On Tuesday Vogue magazine contributing supervisor Lynn Yaeger took shallow swipes at First Lady Melania Trump in the (socially world) wake of Hurricane Harvey. Yaeger, an asserted form master, was exasperates by the Tropical storm Stilettos Mrs. Trump wore on her approach to help the casualties of Houston, however Yaeger herself begrudgingly conceded the First Lady would change into tennis shoes when she touched down in the attacked state. At the beginning of today, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a couple of transcending pointy-toed snakeskin heels more qualified to a shopping evening on Madison Avenue or a...

S tanding at almost 5’10” in my stocking feet, I’ve never been much for wearing high heels. I feel freakishly tall in them, but that’s never stopped me from envying women who can pull off towering pumps and sandals—particularly the sexy, spiky kind—because it is much harder than it looks. Gracefully navigating sidewalks, stairs, and dance floors on six-inch needles requires a type of agility and confidence—not to mention  sobriety—few women possess altogether and at once.

A woman who tripped and broke her leg in a pub has been awarded £18,000 in compensation. Selena Gilder was smoking a cigarette outside when the three-inch heel of her stiletto shoes became caught in a crack in the concrete. The 40-year-old, who had drunk two Bacardi and Cokes, lost her balance and tumbled backwards, but her trapped foot caused her to snap the tibia and fibula of her right leg. The hospital cleaner insists she was not drunk and blamed the fall on 'very poor' lighting in the smoking area. Ms Gilder had three operations and six months off...

As a women's shoes fetishist, I'm glad these Lamborghini Gallardo stilettos are just a concept. Unless they come with a voluptuous Swede in a tiny bikini so my eyes automagically look in another direction. [Jalopnik]

British broadcaster Natasha Kaplinsky The UK’s Daily Mail has a story on the very pregnant, multimillion dollar British broadcaster Natasha Kaplinsky, who’s strolling about London in what they describe as “killer red stilettos”. Well, frankly we don’t find her choice of footwear all that stylishly appealing, and it may likely be a health risk. We worry about Ms. Kaplinsky stumbling about or falling in her clearly uncomfortable shoes, and hurting her unborn child.

One hundred German women braved broken heels and sprained ankles in Saturday's second annual "Stiletto Run" 100-meter race in Berlin. The distance was 100 meters. The field was 100 women. The prize was €10,000. The setting was Berlin. And the shoes were stilettos. (excerpt)
