Soon, 9-inch 'Sky Heel' to hit stores!

High heels may have injured three million women, but they're still very much in demand!

Shoppers are all set to go Gaga for new platforms which will be the highest available on the High Street -- at a whopping nine inch heel.

Thanks to Poker Face singer Lady Gaga, shoe lovers have started to demand more monstrous heels.

'Sky Heel', available in sparkly red or gold, will cost less than 40 pounds when they hit the trendy shoe shop Parmars next year, reports the Sun.

A spokesman for the firm said the design was inspired 'by the catwalk, for the sidewalk'.

"The Sky Heel was fuelled by customer demand to mimic the celebrity look."

"We've seen the five-inch and six-inch, and we've even seen the seven-inch heel. The trend is bigger, bigger, bigger -- and the Sky Heel is the biggest of them all," he added.
