Boots Not Made For Walking

DSquared2 has launched an ice skate / high heel boot nicknamed the 'Skate Moss', which features an eight inch heel with rubber soles.

Whilst most might flinch at the idea of walking in the US $1,485 creations, models on the DSquared2 runway managed to teeter down the catwalk in them, though the Daily Mail reports that most "looked far from secure, some with ankles on peculiar angles."

Set to hit Zappos Couture stores next month, it's predicted Lady Gaga might snap a pair up – but even the Fashion Icon of the Year herself may have trouble walking in heels this high.

Gisele Bundchen "Afraid" Of Wearing High Heels

Doctors have long warned about the dangers of wearing high heels, with Victoria Beckham recently ordered to wear flats until after New York Fashion Week due to a slipped disc.

"Victoria has been frantically surfing the web for an acceptable pair of flats, ones which don't make her look like a golf club," reported the Daily Mirror.

However, it seems some designers are coming around to the idea of flats, with Karl Lagerfeld stating at his couture show, "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury."
