Take a look at this video of everyday women daring to walk in the shoes from the runways of fall 2009.  It leaves you with an appreciation of the ‘balancing’ act the models must do for each show during fashion week in front of the cameras and a packed house.  These shoes definitely pose a challenge, and that’s saying the least.  They range from Manolo Blahnik, Christian Dior, Nina Ricci, John Galliano, Rodarte, and Herve Leger.  Of course many of these shoes are for the theatrical effect on the runways, and will never hit the stores for the consumer, or is that wishful thinking?  Either way, it was well worth seeing these contraptions, I mean shoes up close.  I’m just happy that no one was injured while filming this re-enactment.
