Totter on for centuries in steel-ettos: Shoes made out of metal and silver are guaranteed to last for 1,000 years
Breaking a high heel has ruined many a night out. But this pair of stilettos should be going strong long after your dancing days are done. Made of stainless steel and solid silver, they come with a 1,000-year guarantee. Better still, you shouldn’t be hobbling home after the club because, despite appearances, they are designed with comfort in mind.
Each pair has silicone liners and uppers that flex away from the foot. ‘I know what women go through wearing heels,’ said maker Chris Shellis, from Birmingham. ‘They take them off and have bunions and blisters everywhere. These shoes are comfy without compromising on looks.’
You’ll need £995 to foot the bill for the Borgezie Riviera shoes. But if tottering about in heels remains in vogue in 2114, the investment will have been worth it. ‘Women could hand them down to their granddaughters,’ said Mr Shellis.
