High heels hit new heights

Interesting report in the Daily Mail today about the rise in sales of high heeled shoes, which is, possibly, says the paper, down to the influence of famous fashionistas like Cheryl Cole and lady Gaga going for this style.

The article quotes a Peacocks spokesman, who says that: Customers are attracted to a shoe boot’s dual purpose. You can wear them for Christmas and beyond, as they look just as great with a party dress as they do with jeans and a jumper in January.

The Peacocks party shoe boot looks likely to be a festive smash hit this year.

The Guardian also features the story, with the dramatic headline 'sales of killer heels quadruple'.

So, if all the women you see suddenly look taller, there may well be a shoe related reason for this.
