This forest-fire news took me to death when I read them in most of the fashion sites, of course among shoe lovers. Its very hard for me to imagine running in stilettos...that too walking in heelless heels is absolutely like putting my back on a furnace. Oh my gosh! Designer Antonio Berard has launched this heelless designer shoes.

The 5 1/2in creations by Briton Antonio Berardi can hardly
be described as high heels, since they lack the most important part - a heel.

For the bargain price of £1,800, the wearer will get to totter around with
all her weight balanced on a thickened platform sole.

Unsurprisingly, fashionistas are jostling to buy a pair.

Stars including Gwyneth Paltrow and Uma Thurman invested in a black patent
version costing more than £1,100, shortly after they were unveiled in Berardi's
spring/summer collection in Paris.

And Victoria Beckham apparently has a snakeskin pair.

They are going on sale in Browns stores in London, where they have to be ordered up to
five weeks in advance.

Lincolnshire-born Berardi, 39, said he was inspired by Latin American music
and 1980s post-modernism, adding: "When you walk, it is almost on tiptoe.
You look really dainty."

You look really dainty? A spokeperson said these shoes are not dangerous "because you would have to lean quite far back before you fell over". I'm not sure how many of us going to feel safe and dare to do it.
