Is this for real??

Hello,I wanted to know if these shoes really exist..

Cost: 1 million pounds


They are inspired by the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, were woven from platinum thread and set with 642 rubies

The one-of-a-kind 4½-inch stiletto sandals are studded with 565 platinum-set Kwiat diamonds (which include 55 carats of clear diamonds and one big 5-carat stone) and it is calledTHE CINDERELLA SLIPPERS

Cost: $2 million


They were both made by a guy named Stuart Weitzman...these shoes are so beautiful that I'm sure that the ladies should really like them..I like the ruby one very much but how can someone afford to buy these shoes??

I know Stuart Weitzman and Le Vian did a pair with Diamonds & Tanzanite and they'll be displayed in a worldwide tour with a bunch of other items/jewels created with Tanzanite, so I would imagine those are the real deal.

Thinking about purchasing them?

the shoes are real, but not for sale. They were special orders to be worn at the Oscars

Wooow, those are gorgeous. Rather no to wear them, but just to have them and look at them would be nice.

i thought i read somewhere that they auction them off after the oscars(at christie's i think) for the charity of choice of the actress that wore them. he does like three pairs a year and they are one of a kind. however, one year i remember that one pair ended up so poular he added them to his line (in rhinestones) for a season.
