Mae West was petite, between 4 feet 11 inches and 5 feet 2 inches tall. On screen, however, she looked larger than life, and this exhibition shows why: She wore shoes that made her 8 1/2 inches taller. A feat of foot engineering, each shoe has two layers: white platform shoes with ankle straps bolted on top of a pair of wooden silver pumps.

"Under a long dress you wouldn't notice that these shoes were being worn," says co-curator Emily Stoehrer. "These silver toes would just peep out thrrough the hem of the dress." West is said to have worn them all the time — on screen and off!

Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Cruise 2027 show in Biarritz drew attention for an unconventional heel-only sandal consisting of a heel cap and ankle tie. Reactions ranged from praise for its whimsical concept to criticism over its practicality and styling. Dubbed the "shoeless shoe".

For your heels only? |
This new design, By Chanel is more like a heel cap than a full shoe. It covers the back of the foot, supports the heel area, and ties around the ankle while leaving the front of the foot exposed.

A patient came in today concerned about the swelling in her lower legs and ankles. She wanted to know if I knew where she could purchase those "depression" socks?
