Who knew that high heels and science could be in the same sentence. Christian Louboutin's red sole shoes are loved by many women all over the world. He recently revealed the engineering invloved with his shoes. "The heel is engineering in itself," said the sought-after designer in his Paris atelier. "This little thing that supports the human weight has to have a precise balance" (cnn.com). The materials needed to create the perfect shoe include wood lasts -- a shoemaker's mould in the shape of a human foot -- and supporting metal stems that are inserted into heels, which can measure up to 6.5 inches, to ensure that the wearer doesn't topple over (cnn.com).
