Whenever I see a pair of clear heels, I think of Chris Rock's bit (in Never Scared) about clear heels being the official uniform of strippers. Even a little bit of lucite is very difficult to pull off, and it seems have shown up at every label from Nine West to Gucci.


Nine West: These chunky lovelies combine the two trashiest materials for shoes - white patent leather and lucite. Fabulous.


Prada: Not even Miuccia could make lucite work (although this shoe would be gorgeous if the heel was patent - the shape is right on the mark). Also at Neiman Marcus.
Donna Karan: Another designer that couldn't make the clear heels work. These are possibly even less flattering than the Nine West numbers due to the ankle strap.

Consider this a fair warning if you plan to rock the clear heels this spring - it takes some serious styling skills to rock the lucite.
