17 cm heels the latest fashion must have

The latest towering heels are taking fashion to new heights. Louis Vuitton’s 17 cm heels are the highest heels in the history of fashion.

The heels are going to be hitting stores late this Autumn and already there is a waiting list.

Women are increasingly investing in the latest catwalk trends and recently the more outrageous heels the bigger statement you make.

But famed footwear designer Manolo Blahnik says heels as high as Vuitton's are over the top, and it is time people come back to reality.

He suggests going no higher then an 11.5 cm heel.

Brisbane podiatrist Rachel Bradhurst admits to popping on a pair of heels every now and then, but also draws the line at a 17 cm heel. She says it is absolute insanity and a danger to wear.

Ms Bradhurst warns heels can cause serious long-term pain in the wearers.

Serious fashion addicts could suffer from the humble bunion to bone deformities to extreme curvature of toes that sometimes require surgery.

I’m not sure that I will go to such lengths to keep up with the fashion trends. How about you? Will you invest in a pair? Check them out by clicking here.

Personally I won't be investing in a pair of these heels.

Firstly, they are actually quite ugly in my opinion and secondly, I'm already tall enough!
