Women are risking their lives by driving in stilettos.

The warning that the killer heels could literally live up to their name comes from insurers.

They found that four in five women drivers admit wearing inappropriate footwear while at the wheel.

Flip-flops and slingbacks can also make a car harder to control.

Female-friendly car insurance firm Sheilas’ Wheels is urging women to change into flat footwear before getting into the driving seat.

The warning comes as eight-inch designer stilettos are unveiled, and amid reports that some women are turning to Botox in a bid to repair feet damaged by wearing high heels.

It is estimated that more than 11.5 million British women are putting themselves and other drivers at risk by wearing the wrong footwear.

Seventy five of the 750 women surveyed admitted having an accident or a “near-miss” because their shoes had slipped off or got stuck between or under the pedals. Nearly a quarter said they could not be bothered to change shoes before they got behind the wheel – even if they knew the ones they had on were not the safest for driving.

A third even confessed to wearing flip-flops while driving.

Jacky Brown, Sheilas’ spokeswoman, said: “It’s astonishing so many women are putting themselves, passengers and other drivers at risk.

“Stilettos, slingbacks and flip-flops aren’t the sensible choice.”

三分之一的公開承認穿著人字拖鞋開車。

Sheilas '的發(fā)言人杰基布朗說： “那么多的婦女把自己、乘客和其他司機置于危險之中，這是令人驚訝的。

“高跟鞋、露跟女鞋和人字拖鞋不是明智的選擇。”
