Ouch! That is the first word that pops in my mind when I think of high heels without a heel.

These shoes were first sighted when the infamous Lady Gaga sported a $10,000 pair similar to the ones above by Noritaka Tatehana. Lady Gaga reportedly took a big tumble from the lack of support, but for some reason, the shoes have become a fad and designers are catching on.


British designer Antonio Berardi added these to his line of shoes for numerous celebrity followers including Victoria Beckham and Gwenyth Paltrow.


Here’s a perfect example of the madness on Victoria Beckham in Antonio Berardi heel-less, leather boots.

This new trend is starting to emerge here and it’s a frightening one. I guess it will help you with balance and calf toning, but I believe there are sketcher shoes for that. I would rather go barefoot, but some people may find these the ultimate staple of being a fashion forward person.

What do you think about extreme fashion pieces?
