Lace and satin are no longer fabrics just used for sexy undergarments. They can be used for shoes too! These Coppelia Pique lace shoes are 6 inches high, making for a very effeminate shoe wearer. You would have to be born in heels to put on these ferocious stilettos. But they’re absolutely gorgeous to look at. And if you can slip them on your feet — and survive — more power to ya!

These satin shoes, made by French designer Alexis Mabille offers the same frivolity with a lot more bows. These satin stilettos offer a splash of femininity to your feet and legs. Some may think it’s a bit ostentatious, but they could be the perfect addition to a simple outfit. Either way it’s fun to see some new fabrics being put to use on shoes. What’ll they think of next?
