As a way to dress up your high heels and protect them, Heel Condoms created by Sandrysabel Ortiz has been buzzing on the next for quite sometime now. On the following page enjoy a  closer look the heel covers  collection, featuring feathers and studs and more, available here.

WSJ took a look at the rising trend of heel height  in recent seasons, and for Spring 2011, photographed ten of the tallest giraffes shown on the runways. The Pierre Hardy pair shown on this page has a heel that measure 11.5 centimeters, but it’s not the tallest. Check on the next page to see three more pairs, including the 15 centimeter shoe that breaks the ruler. Can you guess which designer?

Gucci’s resort collection is now available for purchase. Being an unabashed label-ho myself, I gotta say that not a lot beats out Gucci’s classic green and red band for iconic points.  Add in the zipper detail, which plays so perfectly against the leather strap and silver buckle and you have a shoe that at the end of the day you’d be very reluctant to take off your feet.  (Heh,  not that your significant other would argue given how awfully sexy they’d look resting on a set of satin sheets!)

The higher the heel the better and,  designers like Ruthie Davis  are taking full advantage of that fact.  Davis by Ruthie Davis was all the rage at the WSA show in Vegas.  Her ability to mix materials added to her emphasis on high heels has found instant success since she launched her line in 2006. Personal favorites from her current collection include these neon “Sushi” Mary jane peep toe heels.

She wore these babies at the American Music Awards last week. Did you see?

They’re super sexy, right? And kinky sex at that.

Full shot on el otro side. I put an image of the outfit she performed in over there as well. (All images: Wire.com)
