THE GWYNNIE FACTOR

Looks like movie stars really do influence the buying habits of the many minions.

Selfridges, the London department store, has seen a nearly 35% increase in sales of hyper-high heels since Gwyneth Paltrow strutted them down multiple red carpets for the Iron Man promotional tour this week.

With 7-inch spikes, it’s no wonder they’re called “fetish” heels; a pair by Alexander McQueen is particularly popular.

While we not so sure about Gwynnie’s latest big screen gig, any woman who can walk in those without falling earns our respect!

    Her legs look absolutely amazing but instead you focus on her feet? Any woman who does any form of strength training or with any sort of athleticism will show their strength in their hands and feet. This woman is beautiful and is an absolute picture of health. Flip flops or heels, when you’re healthy and strong, it’s going to show.

    why is she called fishsticks?

    Shoes like that are why Podiatrists are rich. They also throw off your center of gravity and ruin your back. If you notice, she can’t straighten her knees in any of the photos. One is always bent so she does not fall flat on her face and her feet are not down in the shoe all the way, you can clearly see her arch. This is an example of being a bad example, but it is her body, which she can afford to fix, but the others who buy the shoes and need surgery will have to pay dearly. It is not just her, but she has taken it to the extreme lately.

    ^^^mary, she can’t straighten her knees because she’s so fucking awkward, not because heels are impossible to wear. She may have great legs and all, but she’s as awkward as a pig at a White House dinner in her high heels and minis. I don’t know who she’s trying to impress with all these quasi-whore getups.

    She’s trying to impress her faux musician cause he wants out.

  14. Supersonic Says:

    GODDAMN but those shoes are GORGEOUS. I would kill her and some of you for a pair. No joke, I love my heels.

    lovin the veins almost ready to pop

  16. Jane Says:

    Give me a break. I rarely see feet without veins. Unless you’re a teen and under, you’re gonna have veins.

  17. GW Says:

    Agreed Jane. It’s not like she can compete with Madonna or Angelina Jolie when it comes to veins; she only has a little bit. I’m not a Gwynnie-fan but I think she looks great here.

  18. EAT IT Says:

    those are some high heels and she looks good in them. her feet must hurt though.

  19. hairball Says:

    Can you imagine how painful it is to walk in those things? All your weight crushing down on your toes? I hope she doesn’t have bunions.

  20. Anon Says:

    Great gams! Work that red carpet mama! And those shoes rock!

  21. Yummy Says:

    ^^She’s workin’ it indeed! She’s been looking fab lately. This is by far my favorite look of hers from her Iron Man publicity tour. However I did like the grey dress and black tailored jacket, black hose and black shoes she wore to the London premiere.

  22. Bo Says:

    I Want Those Shoes!

  23. reality Says:

    scary, she is morphing into her mom before our eyes…hope her voice don’t get any more annoying cause that just about overwelms about any remaining sexiness that she ever had … she was hottest when shee was packing as her measly little pots filled out… but now, vericose veins, and lumpy legs … that outfit screams “impending middle age and crisis” … i give her 5 years before she is irrelevant and inside of 10 osing in playboy… (looking forward to that, as long as she keeps her scary feet hidden)…

  24. Drestin Black Says:

    The ONLY ones complaining about her heels are the ugly (usually fat) women who couldn’t wear them - hahahahahaa

  25. Alex Says:

    Those are very sexy shoes and she looks veyr comfortable wearing them because, as Drestin mentioned, she is not fat and is in shape. She CAN wear them and look great and not suffer as the jealous ones want to make you think.
