By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on May 8th, 2008

It looks like women just didn’t realize sky-high heels existed before Gwyneth Paltrow waltzed onto the scene promoting Iron Man in a slew of stilettos.
Sales of super high heels (generally anything five inches and over) have increased 35 percent since Paltrow’s press tour.
U.K. retailers like Selfridges and Harvey Nichols are seeing sales of stilettos outnumbering flats five to one.
