Influenced by Michelle O.? VOGUE'S Anna Wintour Steps Out in *gasp* Flat Shoes.



via HuffPo:

Each of Anna's sartorial decisions are deliberate as she decides which trends to promote. And she could be pushing Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley's agenda, as last month he declared the high, high heel to be over. Talley called stilettos "towering torture chambers" and said designers need a "reality check." In fact, Talley might be favoring a new style icon, in particular:

Can't anyone take a cue from First Lady Michelle Obama, in the elegant low-heeled shoes she always wears? A flat would be nice. Talley confessed his confusion over why women choose to wear such painful shoes. He pointed to Diana Vreeland, Katharine Hepburn and C.Z. Guest as women who owned all of the grace in the world and lacked any precarious pairs of heels.

He ended with an appeal to today's couture cobblers: Can you stop the madness and dream up a new way to define your silhouette without a needle heel that defies not only gravity but elegance?

A.L.T. is correct! Sure some of the styles of high heeled shoes are beautiful, but let's be practical, why should I or any other women spend over a hundred dollars for shoes we'll probably never wear again because they hurt??? Have you seen the towering styles for the Fall Collections? They are Ri-damn-diculous! I punished my feet years ago and I'd be crazy to continue doing that torture. Comfort is key and I'm a shoe-o-holic!
