There should be a law against this feet-deforming high heel shoes made by Karo Shoes and spotted by Trend de la Creme.
The strappy black shoes on display have a minimum vertical height of 8 inches. The first pair featured does not have what I would call heels, so the woman who’s brave enough to climb into these killer pieces of footwear would have to place her entire weight on the balls of her toes--without the comfort and support of real heels.
These killer shoes are what I’d call “drive by” footwear.
