Shoe Alert: Stella McCartney's Velvet Platform

If you thought the Steve Madden wedges that Meagan wrote about looked treacherous, then get a load of these sapphire velvet beauties by Stella McCartney:

I love these, but I know I could never walk in them. Vogue says, "Get the height without the hurt!" Oh, really? Look at that narrow, sky-high wooden platform! How could you possibly take more than one step without twisting your ankle?! Even if you're just standing still, it looks like leaning forward just a touch too far would result in a disastrous face plant. I'm loving the deep jewel tone, the richness of the velvet and the ankle strap, but these shoes just scream, "Look, don't touch!" And I swear the exorbitant $1,145 price tag (!) isn't affecting my opinion. Nope, not at all.
