I have been obsessed with transparent heels ever since I saw those Crystal Chanel boots going down the FW’12 runway. That’s why, when H&M announced their collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela, I was so excited to see that the invisible heel shoes included in the line. However, I’ve never had much luck with H&M’s shoe sizing, and this case was unfortunately not an exception. Whereas size 7 was too tight, size 8 was way too loose so I had to reluctantly let them go. That being said, I’m still on the hunt for the perfect pair of transparent heels. Whilst heel-less shoes have become increasingly popular, I always have a feeling that something is  blatantly missing from them. Transparent heels on the other hand, seem to strike a perfect balance between conventional and avant-garde. I just love how they give the illusion of standing on the tip of your toes.
