Known as High Tide Heels, they combine the elegance of stiletto heels with the swimming speed of flippers.
They could provide a fashionable alternative for sun-seekers who don't want the hassle of changing footwear every time they cool off with a dip in the sea.
But don't expect to see thousands of tourists ditching their flip flops and sandals in favour of High Tide Heels this year.
The shoes were created by Belgian artist Paul Schietekat for an exhibition in 2006, and there are no plans to release them commercially.
Even so, similar designs are causing excitement among style-conscious travellers on shoe websites.
One commenter wrote, "Great for crazy fashionistas who don't want to be seen without heels even at the beach. Posh Spice should adopt this style, she almost always wears heels."
