My Heelqueen just picked up a pair of stunning super HIGH heel strappy platform sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti. They are to--for... just look at that arch - it's almost straight down, and the thin criss-cross straps & beautiful tiny buckle at the ankle and the patent strap over the toes, OMFG! The heel is over 6" tall and the back of the shoe is designed to stick out a little beyond the top of the heel. Simply amazing!
