Designer Shoes

Posts Tagged ‘crazy shoes’

Happy New Year! After the popularity of the last post about crazy designer shoes, we’ve decided to bring you a second instalment – possibly even weirder than the first one! Hold onto your plimsolls, this is gonna get strange…

To start things off, a pair of shoes from probably the laziest designer in the world. These are what most people refer to…as feet. They look very much as if the designer simply couldn’t be bothered to finish making them – or even start for that matter! Perhaps I’m being unfair; maybe they were forgotten about until 25 minutes before show time, or the designer ran out of money and couldn’t afford the materials… Whatever the reason for their being, these are not good shoes.

In stark contrast to the first shoes, these are probably the most over-planned shoes in existence. In case you can’t see for yourself, they have a CD player built into the sole of the shoe… I don’t actually know whether it works or not, but I fear it may just be a fashion statement similar to wearing headphones attached to nothing around your neck. I’m not saying these are bad shoes, but they are pretty strange.

Finally, check out these pinnacles of bizarre – shoes that I refer to in my mind as “The Raptors”! With a heel that would break the ankle of the most bendy of ballerinas, these shoes are also equipped with talon-like claws or spikes that sit in the bridge of the foot, presumably to ensure one does not alter one’s frankly ridiculous pose.

Whatever next?! (This is deceptive because I already know what’s next and it’s mental).

Today we bring you a few of our favourites from our collection of strange designer shoes; the ones that made us go “Oooo…oh right”, “Is that…?” and sometimes “They can’t be real!”. It may sound like a terrible speed date, but we assure you these are real reactions to these strange shoes.

Firstly, these bizarre red numbers, apparently designed for the 0.02% of the population that could possibly ever stand up in these, let alone walk around. Aesthetics aside, I think the fundamental laws of physics, combined with simple facts about human anatomy, make these shoes somewhat redundant for anything other than brief posing sessions. It’s just a shame there aren’t many photo-shoots with “Idiocy” as their theme, otherwise these would be hot-sellers! Anyway, let’s move on; behold, our second offering:

What do you mean “that’s not a shoe”? How dare you! Can’t you see it’s…um… No, the Shoe Blog is stumped. As a piece of art, this offering really challenges the very notion of ’shoe’, forcing us to question exactly what it is to be a shoe and, hence, what it is to be a human. As a shoe, however, it sucks.

Finally these – Boxing Shoes! The latest in foot protection for those of our practising street capoeira…or the oddest shoes many of us have ever laid eyes on.

No doubt we’ll be back with more in the near future, so check back soon!
