A GOOD IDEA, BUT THEY WON’T CATCH ON IN HOLLYWOOD

We have to give credit to the women who invented these convertible heel shoes, but will they catch on? The idea is totally sensible – you can change the heel height of your shoes (from 1 and 1/2 inches to 3 and 1/2 inches) according to the occasion. Working women won’t have to tote extra pairs of shoes around or keep them in the office. It’s very practical – the sole is flexible so it‘s comfortable with every heel height. The company is brand new and so far only one style is available ($149) and it‘s functional, but lacks the glamour of designer shoes. Do you think these might catch on? We’re betting they hope someone like Louboutin will buy their idea.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN’S HUSBAND LAMAR HAS A SHOE FETISH TOO

Khloe Kardashian isn’t the only shoe addict in her immediate family – her husband Lamar Odom has an even worse addiction to fancy footwear. It’s more serious for him because he wears a size 16 and has to have his shoes custom made. Even though he has his own line of fancy sneakers filling up his closet, Lamar HAS to have tons of designer shoes too. (Above, he’s wearing custom Gucci crocodile sneakers) Louboutin customizes shoes to order for Lamar and recently he indulged in a pair of yellow and purple high top sneakers with rhinestones that cost $2600.00.

OPRAH’S FEET ARE REBELLING AGAINST LOUBOUTINS

Billionaire Oprah Winfrey has always lamented the fact that she’s usually too big to fit into designer clothes. However she was always able to indulge in the world’s sexiest and most glamorous shoes. Her red soled Louboutins became her trademark on her TV show. But sadly, over the years her bunions became more painful and swollen, and she had to wear flat comfy shoes off camera and just slip on the fancy ones for the show. Wearing expensive stilettos and platforms for big events makes Oprah miserable and she can’t wait to take her gorgeous shoes off. It’s ironic that she can afford any exquisite designer shoes, but her feet are only happy in Uggs.

VICTORIA BECKHAM’S DILEMMA: HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN FLAT SHOES

The fact that Victoria Beckham is having back problems takes a back seat to the fact that she CANNOT WEAR HIGH HEELS! Victoria has a slipped disc that her recent pregnancy made worse and her doctor advised her NOT to further jeopardize her aching back by wearing heels. Next month she has to be at New York’s Fashion week for the first time wearing flat shoes. She was seen wearing pair of Amy Winehouse style ballet flats when she went out with her husband David recently, but she’s worried about Fashion Week. (She’s going to look very short!) Fortunately she has friends in high places and Christian Louboutin is designing some flat shoes just for her – with red soles, of course.

LOUBOUTINS: THE WAY TO A PETITE WOMAN’S HEART

Short celebrities can’t get enough of Christian Louboutin’s dazzling high heels with the red soles. Lady Gaga, (see photo above) Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry, Penelope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Beyonce and the Kardashians are all addicted to the brand. So when the English National Ballet needed to raise funds, they asked Louboutin to design a pair of shoes to be auctioned off. He produced these ballet inspired eight inch heels made of silk and covered with crystals. We think the celebrity most likely to buy them is Gaga, and she’ll probably wear them rather than frame them.
