Can someone please explain to me how it is physically possible to walk in these shoes?

I think they are sculpturally beautiful, but I just can't wrap my mind around, you know, defying gravity.

I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga, I can't stand her music, but I just sat through the 9 minute long Alejandro video to see if she can walk in these puppies - she mostly just stands still or is carried by her mob of fit men.  You can watch the video on Gaga's stylist's blog: Nicola Formichetti

These are also beautiful:
