For the ladies who have an appreciation for the fine superheroes of Marvel Comics, represent with these Comic Book Heels by Etsy user Bitten Apple.
The Comic Book Heels are a pair of customized stilettos that have been fully covered with images of Marvel Comics superheros. A lot of the graphics are illustrated panels from actual issues. Look closely into the shoes and you'll notice all the Marvel favorites such as Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Daredevil scattered all over in this wonderful nerdy collage. In addition to the original design in the photos, buyers can choose their own comic book characters and imprint the images onto the round toe, 4-inch pumps or classic 2.5-inch heel pumps.
