Heels have an advantage because (many women) don't have long legs.
Heels that promise an extra 12 inches! Unbelievable, isn't it? But that's what a Romanian "shoe architect" promises.
Mihai Albu's shoes are twice the height of the highest heels available, and the handcrafted sandals do not come cheap, selling for up to 1,200 euros, which is more than twice the average monthly salary in Romania."Heels have an advantage because (many women) don't have long legs," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.
"They reposition the waist," he stated.
Albu, a former architect, who draws inspiration from Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi and Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi, blends math, architecture and art in his creations.
He uses French leather and encrusts the shoes with jewels, feathers and mirrors.
