Hot. Gorgeous. Lust-worthy. If it sounds like these sandals are all about looks, it’s because they are. Lots of looking and very little wear. Not only do these LOOK uncomfortable, I know for a fact they will make your feet ache.

Pierre Hardy has a pitch that is meant for Barbie. As in plastic, fake people who are constantly tiptoed. Not the kind of people who need to actually use their feet and walk around on them. But it has a big front platform, you say? Even with that to ease the mega-high 6.25” heel, the pitch is too abrupt and it thrusts your feet forward in a most awkward way.

Too bad they’re so easy on the eyes – that contrasting large white band is so beautiful against the tan leather and the black sole adds to the polished, warm-weather feel. At Barneys New York for $695.

Pair with: If you’re after shoes made for lounging (think poolside daybed), then play the part of lady of the manor. La Perla’s Antelope Sauvage silk-chiffon caftan spells life of leisure. On Net-a-Porter for $565.
