Are these the world’s highest platform shoes?

We know that heel heights seem to be ever increasing, but surely there must be a limit? We thought it might have been reached back in 2010 when we covered the 9 inch high heels which we then thought were the highest high heels in the world.

They even towered above Christian Louboutin’s 8-inch, Swarovski encrusted, red-soled spiked ballet heels which were produced in 2011 as a one-off and auctioned to raise money for the cash-strapped English National Ballet.

Well now there is a new contender for the highest heel in the world, and it is commercially available.

These extremely high platforms are available to buy via our affiliate link to Light in the Box where over 1,400 pairs of the shoes have already been sold.

The site is a little unclear about how tall the platform and the heel actually is, which does make us wonder about the finer details. But what we can say is that they look really high and would be a challenge to walk in.

The shoes have a 4.9 star average rating and those brave enough to leave a review rave about them. You can read more reviews and see more pictures of these platforms via the link above.
