I have a love affair with high heels because I’m slightly vertically challenged. My motto is “the taller the heel, the better.” Mihai Albu, a designer from Romania, shares my sentiment. With his experience in architecture, he designs shoes that mix fashion, height, and sculpture in order to “reposition the waist” and appear to make you taller while wearing his heels. His latest creation boasts a full 12.2-inch heel sandal! This much heel might be a tad bit excessive, not to mention impossible to walk in, but if Alexander McQueen‘s spring 2010 shoes proved anything, it’s that fashion lovers will wear anything once. You’ll pay for the inches though. Each pair retails for about £1,200, or $1,762. Who will be the first celebrity to strut around with an additional 12 inches of height? [Daily Mail]
