Heelless High Heels

Yes, you read that correctly. Heelless high heels (or no heel high heels, optical illusion shoes, or unicorn heels) were first seen as a costume piece on Lady Gaga. We all laughed of course, but were internally intrigued.

Lady Gaga was the first celebrity to be noticed wearing heelless shoes.
Then celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian, and Leeann Rimes started wearing them on the red carpet, around town, and posting pictures on their twitter accounts.

Victoria Beckham kicks it up a notch in these heelless boots.
The two major designers creating these works of art are Noritaka Tatehana, who makes Lady Gaga's shoes, and Giuseppe Zanotti. Many eclectic designers have succumbed to the trend, including Alexander McQueen.  Though knock-offs and more affordable options are sure to follow soon.
