　名词解释：高跟鞋是指鞋跟高于普通鞋的一种鞋，使穿此鞋人的脚跟明显比脚趾高。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

Dolly Singh, a former executive with a US space transport company, claims she has finally found the formula for high heels that are as comfortable as trainers.

Unlike traditional stilettoes, the Thesis Couture shoes are made of high-tech plastics and polymers.

Designed to distribute the wearer's body weight from heel to toe, aerospace-grade foams in the sole reduce the impact of each step on the foot by up to 50 per cent.

But such functional fashion does come at a price —— up to £600 a pair, to be precise.

多莉·辛格是一家美国航天运输公司的前任总监，她声称终于找到了高跟鞋设计的最佳方案，穿上它就和穿运动鞋一样舒适。

与传统高跟鞋不同，这款Thesis Couture高跟鞋是由高科技塑料和高分子聚合物制成的。

该设计将身体的重量从脚跟分散到脚趾，鞋底运用航天级别的泡沫减少走路给脚带来的一半压力。

但是这种功能性的时尚女鞋售价，准确地说来，每双至少600英镑。
