Christian Louboutin’s fetish pointe shoe emphasizes the connection between the image of the ballerina on pointe and the iconography of extreme high heels. As Louboutin says: “Isn’t the classical dancing ballet slipper the ultimate heel? The heel which makes dancers closer than any other women to the sky, closer to heaven!”
