Lady GaGa may be making headlines for her music and clothing, but shoe lovers are honing in on her outrageous footwear.
Though the singer’s Alexander McQueen 10-inch stilettos aren’t for the average woman, designers have come up with similar styles that are easier to wear: heels 5 inches and lower.
Ralph Ray, manager of Belk at Hamilton Place, said rising sales seem to show that women like the sexy, dramatic look of the ultra funky shoes. Oddly enough, he said, women are buying the shoes because they’re fun to wear.
“Due to the down economy, jobless rate, foreclosures and consistent gloomy news, women want to lift their spirits, and with these dramatic looks through their shoes, they can lift their moods,” he said.
