New York, May 8 : British retailers Selfridges and Harvey Nichols have reported a surge in the sale of heels ever since Gwyneth Paltrow strutted down the red carpet in the highest of heels for her whirlwind ‘Iron Man’ publicity tour.
Both the stores have reported a rush of customer interest in the six-inch black Alexander McQueen stilettos that the actress wore to the film's London premiere.
Selfridges said that its sales have gone up to 35 percent in the last week, and heels are outselling flats there at a rate of five to one.
"Not for the faint hearted, fetish heels offer the wearer an extreme attention grabbing look, these are definitely taxi shoes," The New York Daily News quoted Selfridges accessories director Sebastian Manes, as telling the Daily Mail.
Even lower-priced chains like Topshop, Nine West and others have all reported a jump in sales of high-heels over the past week.
And Topshop will launch Boutique Shoes in September - dedicated to high-end and higher heels. (ANI)

ive never seen a stripper show in my life, but man, when a woman wears those kinda heels....hell, i wouldnt last long under interrogation if a lady was grilling me while wearing heels like these...sheesh...
and all you whiny women who complain etc, i respectfully say, ‘bite me’
LOL
Slightly cross-eyed, flatchested, I demand a discount on that piece of merchandise!
I can take her or leave her. It was the fact that more women are buying FMPs now; that is her contribution.
Goodness. If I had legs like that, I’d wear skirts & heels like that. Till that day...
LOL!
Yep,
I’d even go grocery shopping in Kroger in that outfit.....
Yardwork!! I’d do yardwork in that outfit!!
