Strutting down the catwalk in supersize six-inch heels can be a perilous sport - just ask the clumsy clothes horse who came a cropper, above, at Milan Fashion Week.
Let’s face it, we girls are head over heels about shoes, but put one foot wrong and those sexy skyscrapers can become a girl's worst nightmare.

Luckily, models aren’t the only ones with bruises to heel.
From Jessica Simpson to Carmen Electra, click on the images above to see the worst high heel hell moments captured on camera.
Our heart goes out to you, ladies!
