Crappy photo, we know. But you're looking at the attendant image for U.S. Design Patent #428,549, the "High Heel Shoe with Ergonomic Toe Design." You read right, ladies, this is a design patent for a high heel shoe that doesn't compress your toes into a podiatric mess.

U.S. entrepreneur Carolyn J. Ruffin, who holds the patent, is looking for a company to start cranking these puppies out. On the fence? Read the persuasive PR copy:

Once introduced, consumer acceptance will be immediate and enthusiastic. This design may be worn by CEOs, business executives, secretaries, church-goers, models, and any woman attending formal events.

CEO's and models! What are you waiting for?
