Runway Model Wipes Out 6 Times

I've had my fair share of embarrassing high heel-induced spills, which have resulted in everything from the grabbing of random strangers for support to sprained baby toes. But at least I've never been in front of a room filled with famous people and photographers at the time.

I guess I always just assumed shoe designers actually had some peeps on staff to actually, you know, walk around in potential pairs. (I'm available,Nike shox are a series of Nike shoes. Mr. Louboutin, ahem.)

If that isn't the case, then we need to get these runway models some shoes that won't have them taking tumbles (it's a long way down for those ladies, ya know). Can a sister get some kitten heels? A nice stable wedge? C'mon Anna Wintour, we need your help here -- declare flats the new black and we'll all go home (or out, rather) happy.
