Royal Highness: Princess Letizia's Sky-High Stilettos (PHOTOS, POLL)

Even though we're big fans of flats (the same can be said of Carla Bruni and Michelle Obama), we have to hand it to Princess Letizia of Spain. She really knows how to dress her feet. Here are some of her famously sky-high stilettos: tell us which ones you love, and which ones she should lose.

Just think of them as Hideous Feet Factories.

[dermguru]

THANK GOD there are still woman who defy all with their heels.
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!
bring back the true 4-5" pencil stiletto everyday for all
....STILET­TO=SMOKIN'

[Ohsherrie]

Some of the shoes looked OK but that woman's legs look painfully thin to me.

[smoochie]

I love her! Elegant, intelligent, working class background, AND found her prince in shining armor~~ what a phenomenal representation of powerful womanhood.

[ladydragon]

she wears the most beautiful shoes. Shoes are "Chocolate" for the feet ! when I was stationed in southern Germany, I would regularly go to Italy shoe shopping. Europe has the best shoes hands down, New York shoe stores are just cheap "knock-offs"

[goofy2]

Lose the whole lot of them. Gain better foot, leg, and back health and set a better example.

[Aabby]

I don't see stilettos.­..Mostly thick heels here. They look sooo expensive though. As beautiful as they are, that's just to much money on shoes when there's so much need in the world. but that's just me.

[erin0027]

Not one of these beautiful shoes is a stiletto, people! As far as I can see the grey shooties come the closest to a "stiletto," but the rest are just high high heels. Not all high slim heels merit the description stiletto. By definition, a shoe is a stiletto only if the part of the heel that touches the ground is 1cm or less. And a true stiletto has a metal heel. grumble...

This is 2009, and a woman can wear any style of shoe she wants to and not be criticized. Her choice, and clearly she likes to be tall.

[Cherybaby66]

I was hoping someone would educate the author as to what a true stiletto heel is. None of those qualify.

But, I was thinking that the princess can use a better pedicure. Is that wrong of me? :)

[Lisa Earle McLeod - Huffpost Blogger]

Hope she has a good podiatrist.

They don't call 'em killer shoes for nothing.

A few decades of wearing those and she'll be hobbling around with hammer toe.

[PRINCECHARMED]

Spanish shoes are the best, and Letizia is the best image for them! classy, beatiful and intelligent

[beyondliberal]

Even if you don't care for the styles, at least they fit her well.
One cannot say the same about Sarah Palin. Toes shooting out the front of a pair of open-toed shoes indicates the shoes are too big. I know; I used to sell shoes and know how to fit them to feet.
As for the nail polish, I commend the princess for wearing NONE. The stuff grosses me out. Think about it; it hides dirty nails. Yuck. The same goes for not wearing any hose; disgustingly sticky, smelly feet that ruin shoes. Maybe that's why women in high places spend $3000/day on clothes.

[doctor gogol]

Most women are at least 20% hotter in heels.

Except this obese girl I used to work with. She'd wear stilettos at the office and they were buckling under the stress so much that it reminded me of what the support beams in the World Trade Center must have looked like before the collapse.

[Aabby]

in poor taste :-(

[Figural]

Sigh... I love them all, and I'm a senior now. The other side of my brain is screaming 'ouch...'. My very first pay cheque all those years ago went on a super-sexy pair of very high stilettoes that sent my Mum ballistic; I loved them to bits even though they killed my feet. I can only wear flats now, but I'd still love to be able to wear gorgeous shoes like those, and afford them too, of course.

[kasikeno]

Aunque parecen altos no lo son tanto, solo restar la altura de la plataforma al tacón, y veréis que como mucho son de 5 o 6 cm.
La Princesa Letizia hace un buen trabajo, "tiene los pies en la tierra" y repite zapatos y vestuario con frecuencia, no creo que sea una vaga.
Es verdad que esta delgada pero es su constitución, quema todo lo que come, y la dieta mediterránea es muy buena, alimenta y no engorda.
