"Pain-free" and "stiletto heel" aren't words that normally go together, but rest assured, there is such a thing as an easy-to-wear stiletto, and Cole Haan claims to have created it.
These babies may look like your standard ankle-killers, but they contain Nike air-cushioning in the ball of the feet and the sole, which helps prevent the foot and back pain so often associated with long hours in strappy sandals.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that they look pretty sweet, too, does it?



Awesome! I just don't understand why they haven't come out with something like this ages ago..
i agree this is genius.
Why doesn't every shoe designer do this!!!
It's good to know they actually do work, Marsha! I'm just pleased that they're so pretty - normally when dsigners come out with something they claim is comfortable it looks like something pensioners would wear!
Alas, these and the CARMA AIR PUMPs have great shapes but they are built wrong because it is tough to walk without wobbling in them. [No, I don't have this problem with my other 3.5 - 4 inch heels.] It's so frustrating because they look so good yet everyone I saw trying them looked silly walking in them!
