Yea or Nay: YSL Caged Heels

In the long run, there's only so much you can do with the modern high heel: stumpy or stilleto, kitten heels or fuck-me heels, metal, wood, leather or lucite, in the end, it's almost always variations on a theme that repeats season in and season out.

But the YSL Spring 2009 collection managed to offer something slightly new and interesting and we can't quite decide whether we like them or not: the "caged" heel.

Tilda Swinton was (of course) the first celeb to wear them on the red carpet.

Let's separate the shoe from the heel in this conversation. The shoes themselves, while kinda fab, look incredibly painful, so ignore them if you can. What do you think of those heels? We admit, we're leaning toward the side that says "love 'em!" but also admit that they're a little gimmicky, like those Chanel gun heels that Madonna and Posh were wearing a while back.
