Description


----
How do they WALK in THESE!
----
Shot last Spring at the Sakura Japanese Cherry Festival in Fairmount Park, Phildadelphia. There were about 15 models strutting in this type of footwear on stage. I actually SAW them walk up the stairs, dance on the platform, and then back down the stairs. They were smiling broadly for the entire performance.

I want them! Of course, all I could do is look at them in my closet - haven't had a pair of heels on more than twice since I retired more than 10 years ago. #1576772

Ohhh my goodness, what women will go through to get men to notice them! And I too did too several years ago, the only flats I had were golf shoes! lol

I love what you've done with this image, Michelle, but I hurt, hurt, hurt just looking at these. Bare feet, stocking feet, sneaks--that's the way to go. #11068937

That's a cool shot, Michelle! I'd never be able to do this! #11069913

Renata Gusciora June 26, 2014

What a cool shot!:-) If the shoes have high platform,and it looks like these do, the heel is not that high as it looks and they are much more comfortable than it seems!:-) #11071828

Hey, Renata loves fashion, but for me it's just a reason to take shots of her :) We see these crazy fashion devices all the time here in NYC, but, I just enjoy them as a joke :D What the heck, it's fun to watch :) :)

Nice capture and lighting, Michelle.
