"I&amp;#x27;ve recently spotted some crazy shoes that reach new heights (both physically and creatively) that have made me wonder whether they&amp;#x27;re worth the pain of wear, or simply meant to be admired from afar on a glass shelf.In the case of these Project No. 4 shoes by shoe label Finsk, they are so high and angular that you&amp;#x27;d fear for your personal safety, but as an object, shoe designer Julia Finsk has really pushed her ideas of shape and form to the upper limits and really experimented to get this result. The shoe incorporates a mix of different wood finishings, leather and suede, and she&amp;#x27;s also integrated perspex, which is particularly effective when placed in transparent orange against the wood in the heel. British shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood&amp;#x27;s recent designs featuring art from the &amp;#x27;80s punk/pop artist Keith Haring are more manageable heel-wise, but are so striking in design. Incorporating Haring&amp;#x27;s signature motifs, they&amp;#x27;re so gorgeous that should you procure a pair, you wouldn&amp;#x27;t be so sure about stepping outside in them for fear of scuffing or wrecking them. Still, I love how fantastical they are in their design whilst staying true to Kirkwood&amp;#x27;s own design philosophy. Photos: Susie Lau"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
