What your wife wants...

Came across these little beauties today and almost took my husband out as I reached for them. I think I startled everyone in the store when I squealed, "They're carbon fiber!!!" My god they're beautiful. For the first time, the Louboutin that I was clutching in my other hand didn't seem so glorious. But for the first time the Louboutin was the cheaper shoe. The carbon shoe was originally $1,090 and was on sale for $765.

The shoe is made by Gianvito Rossi.

The proper reply is that the shoes were not designed to have you standing or walking in.

Oh hell yeah, Veruca! The ultimate "come **** me" shoe. I must have a pair!!!! You certainly have the same taste in shoes that I do!! A woman can never have too many sexy shoes. I have alot none but none as cool as these!!!!
And only being 5'2''(almost) - no heel is too high!
