Clear heels

An example of an Ellie-821, an 8-inch clear high-heel.

Clear heels (also referred to as stripper shoes[1]) are high-heeled footwear made from a transparent material.

Heels sometimes contain novelties such as flashing lights, coloured liquid, or even fish. Materials used to create the heel design include polycarbonate, PVC, lucite, and acrylic resin.[2][3] The transparency may be used deceptively with a ballerina style to give the appearance of standing on tiptoe or en pointe.[4]

A more romantic style resembling Cinderella's glass slipper has been designed for social events such as the prom, but generally designs are more provocative with very high heels.[3][5][6][7]

Popular brands include Pleaser and Luscious.[6] In 2009, New York Magazine indicated that the style was "on trend" for the Spring 2010 shows, notably in Milan at Dsquared2, Prada,[8] and Fendi.[9][10] The association between clear heels and erotic performers and pornography has led to criticism of celebrities for wearing the trend in public.[11] In an interview, actress and singer Taylor Momsen noted that she liked performing in a pair that had a slot for tips, "fans started putting money in them, so now they are filled with tons of bills".[12][13]
