There might be nothing sexier to look at than a dagger-like stiletto heel, but a 5 or 6 inch metal spike on your shoe is not exactly practical. Fortunately Stuart Weitzman has come up with the perfect solution with his new Dagger pump.
The designer has engineered a patent leather pump with a sexy, razor thin metal spike-heel. Unlike other killer heels this site has reviewed, the Dagger’s titanium, pin-point heel is a very manageable 4 inches high. The leather footbed should also cushion and comfort. It is pictured above in shiny, tinto quasar colored patent leather with a silver stiletto heel.
Update: this post was first published in 2012. Stuart Weitzman’s Dagger is no longer available for purchase. Links have been removed, and the article updated. This post remains published for archive purposes and to celebrate these amazing designer heels.
The Dagger is part of Stuart Weitzman’s Fall 2012 collection and has been described by the brand as “glamorous, chic and befittingly provocative.” The shoe also comes in a mini-glitter finish for the sexy Cinderella look and, for an extra $10, in black suede with a gold heel incorporating a flash of leopard skin at the top of the stiletto.
Russian model Natalia Vodianova will be the face of the Stuart Weitzman Fall / Winter 2012 campaign, her second campaign with the brand. See a behind-the-scenes video of Natalia’s photoshoot for the campaign with Mario Testino below, in which she wears the black suede Dagger pumps.
The Dagger pump was available from Stuart Weitzman for $375 – $385 back in the day.
