This is the coolest thing I have ever seen…it’s the SHOES and then some.

Oh what we do for fashion! I love the reflective black glitter ones.

brilliant. so true

Now it’s officially documented that NO ONE can walk in these shoes. : ) If the fashion pack can’t, no one can. I now feel no shame carrying my flats in my bag. Always did for night events anyway.

Loving the sequins galore. x

IS it?

Hell yeah!

They say women have a higher pain tolerance. This has to be true or five inch heels wouldnt exist! :) I’ve had to do this a couple times, but to have it caught on camera! Ouch

That’s a really funny pic! LOVE it!

Amazing shot!

Hi,

Remember : http://images.thesartorialist.com/photos/1039ShoeSwitch3186Web.jpg

Always so beautiful.

“Il y a deux choses qui sont sans limite : la feminite et les moyens d’en abuser…”

Ah, the joy in changing from heels to flats..

Girl on right is my favourite Fashion Blogger: Irene Colzi from ireneccloset.com !

Great shoes! And i always find platform heels to be very, very comfortable. Because they have height in the front as well as the back, they are very easy to walk in for the whole day. Actually, I don’t find ballerina flats to be very comfortable at all. But flats certainly can be pretty. The lovely shoes with the bow you can tell would be comfortable, as they don’t have too high an arch.

absolutely stunning!

Sensible shoes? Not!!!

This happens to all of us so often :) and it’s soooo worth it!

hahaha oh, it’s worth it alright.

Such pretty shoes! I love how the sparkly ones are really tough but the bow makes them more girly.

even only feet are great

So true. If I am wearing uncomfortable shoes I ALWAYS have my flats in my bag.. Boys are like “WTF!?” when they look inside my bag :D

I love it! The title totally “makes” the picture.

Very cool photos !
Exactly what I do after a party :)

Riot ready. I love that the flats are not tennies. And, I keep looking at the apple…multitasking, perfect.

yes……..

After 10 years of heels and lots of walking, my right foot does not look (or function) as well as my left, but my husband assured me there are much worse things I could have done to my body in my 20s!

Classic. The shoe change is what every girl looks forward to at the end of the day

always have flats in my bag especially if i have a long day of walking in heels!! love the photo.

Love this post. I think most women have had a moment like this.

we’re all slaves to fashion

Haha know what this is like. Beautiful heels, particularly the sparkly ones.

Wonderful moment captured! It leaves it all up to the imagination to fill in the rest of the story!

Beautiful heels. Love these shots.

Check out today’s look:

So pretty!

Fascinating look, but probably not worth it. Ruining your feet (or breaking your ankles in several places) is like having to wear uncomfortable shoes for the rest of your life, with no spare flats in your bag. No one admires a woman who is always wincing.

Fabulous and so familiar… xv

Photos of shoes are always my favorite! You sure do pay the price of looking good… But I would say it’s always worth it in the end.

Great pictures. The heels are really cute. I didn’t dare walk around the cobble stoned roads of Paris wearing heels. but I did enjoy people watching and seeing what everyone was wearing in one of the most fashionable cities in the world.

I love this photo!! it’s fantastic!!

I don’t find girls with this kind of shoes attractive… Flat-team.

Any woman who can walk around in shoes that great deserves respect!

If you look closely, many of your snaps have a subtle ‘noir’ element – here, a hint of menace lurks in the south east corner where the glittery heel swims dangerously close to the awaiting grate!

amazing shots and realy sexy legs

why do only women wear painful shoes? (weren’t the first high heels designed for kings?) that is how you could torture me – make me wear those things. no, thanks!!!

as a 10cm-and-under heel wearer, i now understand why some women carry such large bags! they have to cart around these enormous (but admittedly gorgeous) things for half the day :)

oh these photographs are so true..and SO worth it. thank you for the constant inspiration and perception!

nah, not worth it ! not at all. pretty though !

Great photos! I don’t know what it is but it’s just really amazing :)

I love the black and white photos!

so agree!

At first glance, I thought they were taking off their beautiful shoes. Now I’m not so sure. With careful study of the photos I still think they are taking them off. What’s the story here? I love your photos, they are a daily inspiration.

Is it really? I rather doubt it.

For the sake of art and photography okay, but in real life, hummm…

You are triggering existential questions here.

Kisses from Greece!

Those beautiful and elegant shoes are to be worn when you are with your love ones together with nothing on.

I can’t wait to hear what these women say after they’ve suffered years of foot pain that won’t go away after a night’s rest–not just walking, but sitting, standing, lying in bed. Throbbing, aching, burning pain. Having to pay for foot surgeries to fix bunions, pinched nerves, strained or torn ligaments that won’t heal. Unable to go to a museum or sightseeing for more than an hour. I’m not yet 30 and I’ve had to deal with this. Tell me Scott, can you imagine your long hours of shooting, watching fashion shows, and traveling around the world when every step hurts?

Team Flats indeed. I will never wear heels like this–it’s not worth it. Promoting shoes like this as the height of fashion and femininity makes me sick.

i painfully disagree.. although i, too, adore high heels, they are terrible for our feet.. sad but true..

Love these photos.. such imagination!

That could be me…
Nice Pic!

prompted by this wonderful photo, I just did some simple research on the history of the high heel shoe – fun and interesting stuff! Sartorialist, might I suggest you consider doing a little piece on that? the history of the high heels that are a staple in fashion? could be a fun little post for you, I imagine… or, have you already done it?
cheers from Tahoe (where the street fashion just doesn’t cut it…)

Both of these pairs of heels are so gorgeous! I love peep toe pumps, and the black and white feels very retro.
