prada.bmp The pain/pretty ratio (i.e. whether the shoe in question is attractive enough to buy despite the obvious pain it'll cause when walking further than from the house to the taxi) is one that many women struggle with all the time. Some shoes are ugly but comfortable, some look gorgeous and are fairly comfy. Some look gorgeous but painful, and are, and finally some just look like torture devices. And then you have Prada's Seta Lana pump. Featuring a 4 inch covered banana (curved) heel, and covered in coloured silk, there are restrictions on the Saks Fifth Avenue website in terms of how many each customer can order. If you're tempted, they'll cost you US$520.
