Gwyneth Paltrow has been stepping out in some may-jor footwear this month, promoting her upcoming movie Iron Man. To see what she’s been wearing, check out the Daily Mail web site (scroll down for the pictures).

While there is one constant in all these shoes – really astonishingly teeteringly high heels – they otherwise run the stylistic gamut from elegantly classic to zipped, buckled, and tied. Walking in (or even standing up on) shoes like these, and doing it gracefully in front of loads of cameras, is not for the faint of ankle.

Nonetheless, aren’t these shoes fantastic? Not only are they feats of structural engineering, they are also dazzlingly daring. They’re obviously not for every day, or even every season. They may only be once-in-a-lifetime shoes, and even then only if you have Gwyneth’s wallet, social calendar, and gams.

But, part of high fashion is fantasy, and our mission here at Fantastic Toe is to bring you fantastic footwear. So, have an ogle — you may even get some ideas for what shoes to wear to your next work event.
