GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI Platinum Leather Heel-Less Platform d'Orsay Pump Shoe 39 1/2 US 9 1/2 UK 6 1/2SO LADY GAGAAs for this particular ��something��, well, Gaga probably isn��t solely to blame for this one. Heel-less shoes, of course, have been around for much longer than the teacup-toting one has, and we��re sure the fact that Gaga has made heel-less walking one of her many talents is only partly responsible for the small, but growing, number of shoe designers who wake up one morning and think, ��The heel! Take it off! Take it all off!��The latest suspect to come up with this bright idea is Giuseppe Zanotti, and his creations are shown above. Now, let us be clear about this: we LOVE these shoes. To look at, that is. And OK, sure, they look alittlebit like some kind of strange electrical appliance from space. (We know that��s a weird comparison, but we can��t help it: they remind us of one of those egg whisks, or hand blenders, or whatever �C can you tell we��re not cooks? �C that stand up by themselves.) But still, they��re pretty amazing, and prettier, somehow, than many of the other heel-less wonders we��ve come across on our beat.But still. The lack of a heel is something that it takes a little while for the eye and mind to adjust to. For us, it��s just not happening. Our eyes keep on searching for the heel that isn��t there, our minds keep on telling us there��s something missing, and no matter how patiently we explain that, ��Yes, mind, but it��ssupposedto look like that. It��sart. You must not understand fashion!�� itwillstill keep searching, and insisting that there��s something not quite right here.
