Gladiator High Heel Collection

Some hate them, others love them and I simply adore the gladiator heels. To be fair, I can't stand flat gladiator shoes, but add some heels to them and I'm in love. What I really like is that many designers are creating even more of these types of heels. Proving that they are not an overnight fad, and will continue to stick around for a while.

Higher Heels During A Recession?

High heel shoes continue to go up in height, but have you noticed that as people lose their homes and jobs, that women are wearing more heels that are higher than ever? This is very according to Conventry Telegraph.

According to their article, since the 1930's, it has been easy to predict economic disasters based on the types of high heel shoes that women wear. And thanks to the styles, they may have predicted our most recent recession.

What does high heels have to do with financial nightmares? Well, according to article, cheaper but taller heels, help the wearer to feel less depressed during the recession.

Is there anything that high heel shoes can't do?

Blame Foot Pain on High Heel Wearing Celebs

Once again foot problems and high heels are in the news. If you follow the issue, then you will recall that every few months, a podiatrist will make the rounds in newspapers all over the globe, complaining that injuries are on the rise due to high heels.

Fair enough. However, its the part about it being the fault of celebrities in particular Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Beyonce Knowles, as well as Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen that has me seeing red.

Victoria Beckham

It's no secret that Victoria Beckham practically lives in her high heels, but thats her business. Any ankle, leg and back problems that arise from too much heel wearing will affect her, not me, not you. As she teetered around in a pair of Antonio Berardi heel-less platform shoes and heel-less thigh high latex boots, I simply wondered if they were comfortable. I did not think that I just had to have them, and if I broke something wearing them, then its obviously Mrs. Beckham's fault.




We usually see Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wearing high heel shoes that are bigger than they are, but there are no captions that say we have to wear what they wear.



Beyonce Knowles continuously changes up her fashion and when her recent album "I am Sasha Fierce" came out, there were many publicity shots, including this one that featured Beyonce clad in a leotard and high heeled ballet shoes. Very pretty, but they are not exactly practical for every day use. And lets not forget the Lego heels Beyonce sported that seem to be equally loved/hated by many.





Like Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton is almost always wearing high heel shoes, and she has also been photographed with what looks to be bunions on her size 11 feet. Far from telling you that you need to be wearing the same shoes as her, doesn't this seem like a great ad as to why you should avoid prolonged use of high heels?



My point is this, celebrities are used to sell a lot of products, but its up to you to buy them. And no one is forcing you too. So when your limping your way into the podiatrist, remember that your not a child, and high heel wearing celebrities did not force you to wear heels until you damaged your feet.

Gwen Stefani L.A.M.B Heels



I'm not a huge fan of Gwen Stefani's fashion but I do love a lot of outfits and shoes in her clothing line L.A.M.B. I especially love these high heel pumps. The thin heel and clunky toe, adds style to this classic shoe, but the dual buckles is what really makes it a must have for my high heel collection.

7 Inch Heels - Extreme Balance Necessary



In Jinan, China mall visitors are free to gawk at this eye popping 20 centimeters (approx. 7.87 Inches) high heel shoes. Along with this high heel, the sole by itself is 10 centimeters tall. Although far from practical, this is one pretty, and extreme case of high heel fashion.

Balenciaga Gladiator Boots - I Love Them



There's been a bit of a debate on the Internet about the Balenciaga gladiator boots that are seen here on Rihanna. Over the last few months, many have voiced their dislike and down right hate about these gorgeous stiletto's, and consider them a huge fashion faux pas but I love them.

I don't know what it is, I mean they are odd looking (and expensive - $6945) but they are also fabulous.

What do you think about these strange and lovely heels?



It's safe to say that Rihanna also loves the Balenciaga high heel boots, as she has worn them on multiple occasions


These are the gladiator style sandals, but I don't like them as much as the knee high boots above.

I find that there are many high heel shoes and boots that look good in one color, but are absolutely hideous in another color. However, I like the looks of these gladiator heels regardless of the color.

BRUNOMAGLI Women's Priscilla


I am in love with these Bruno Magli black high heel boots. They are absolutely gorgeous and sexy as well. They are also half off at amazon right now and I am considering breaking into that savings account for such a deal.

They retail for $694.99, almost $700 and they are not made of gold Mr. Magli, blimey. But they are on sale right now for $346.99.

Claret Velvet By Anne Klein

The Claret Velvet by Anne Klein is extremely beautiful with its deep red shade, matching broach and toes. The only problem I have with these shoes is the lack of straps. I love strappy sandals but more than that, these type of heels can sometimes slip off the wearers heel. Beyond that I have to say I love these high heel sandals.
