Need a Lift?

Tammy Hidden Wedge Boots by 80%20

Meanwhile, on Avenue of the Americas …

Our heroine is stepping into a taxi when her superbionic senses tell her to look up. Her archenemy approaches, unfurling her ferocious tongue.

“Nice outfit. Do you need my colorist’s number? Have you put on a little weight? You look so tired.”

Our heroine steps out of the cab, revealing her own secret power: She’s so much taller than the villain remembers.

That’s because she’s wearing the new Tammy hidden wedge canvas boot from 80%20, a neatly cuffed anklet (in olive or black) that disguises a two-and-a-half-inch lift in the heel.

Standing tall, her legs long and lean, she stares down at her diminutive foe, all smack-talking silenced.

“Don’t you love the bow trim?” she asks. “The rubber sole makes for low impact when giving roundhouse kicks to the mouth.”

Take that. Ker-pow!
