Geox launches Empire State Building inspired heels. And yes, they’re high

We know some of you will be split over our latest must haves but since we’re on the topic of Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and The City and heels we couldn’t resist telling you about these new shoes from Geox.

Taking inspiration from New York’s most iconic skyscraper, each of the three limited edition styles is characterised by a 12cm titanium heel, crafted to honour the height and form of the Empire State Building.

The heel, in gold or silver, are appliquéd with rhinestones in several of the shoes, from top to the bottom representing the windows of the skyscraper.

The collection features a choice of open toe or close toe court shoes, and includes a choice of leopard print, purple and blue sequins or black sequins.

We’re sure we’ll be toddling back with a pair from Geox’s UK Flagship store at Long Acre in Covent Garden when we can get our hands on a pair of these limited edition heels. They cost £250 but there’s lots of saving time as they won’t be available until February 2010.
