The tassels make them look like golf shoes. The gold and the pointy toes make them look like golf shoes for the gayest of gays. Are they actually meant for women, or perhaps for transsexuals?

The little part of me that is gay, just screamed and wants to claw some designers eyes out.

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot?

"Tabitha Simmons’s shoes for Creatures of the Wind"

There's a fart joke in there somewhere to connect to these monstrosities, I just know it.

"Fashion" people crack me up... especially the way they take themselves so seriously.

"...is as imaginative and otherwordly as the fairyland-inspired clothes they came with."

Oh, really?

(No, no Photoshop in Elena's work...)

Free little tip about straight men: we're not lookin' at your shoes.

c'mon Raddy, while Elena could pull of wearing such shoes, she would prolly spork they eyes out of the designer who thought they were Fabulous!

see, what I thought immediately is "wow, not even Cindy Lauper would wear those..." she could have, though...

In terms of being "don't F Me pumps", meh as long as the correct signals are sent, Jason is correct. I dun care what you have on your feet.

Um... those would look nice on junior-high drum majorettes in a Mardi Gras parade. I suppose.

have y'all seen the shoes that show up in the targeted ad sidebar above? The pink stiletto stripper boots would fit well in this thread.

Those are like footwear eye noise. I have headache now.

I love that they call them "punky". Really? Is that the new word for ugly? It looks like a shoe DNA-splicing project gone horribly awry!!

".. the punky metallic tassel-front flat is as imaginative and otherwordly as the fairyland-inspired clothes they came with."

That's as accurate as any industry stock analyst's report I've ever read.

Never thought I'd see a cross between Crocs and 1970's loafers.

Oh, hell to the no. Incineration is too good for them.

No it must NOT be completely destroyed! One pair should be left and sealed in glass box. Those shoes should be displayed publically with a big plague "A warning to all designers - you do not know everything!"

The reminder pairs should be incinerated, the ashes then taken to the far reaches of Milan, Paris, New York and other fashion centers. The ash shall be deposited into the ashtrays of models and designers to dump yet more ash upon.

Then the factory that made it should be torn down. Reduce to small rubble. Then taken away. The land said factory upon should then be salted. Nothing should be every created on said spot again. It shall be be yet another message of designers hubris.

The designer(s) on said shoes shall them be forced to wear their abomination for a whole fashion season of there chosen city. Furthermore I would send the designer out into the wilderness away from any fashion center, exile is from fashion. The youth and future designers need to be protected from the corruption and evil that created such ugliness.

On an another silly writing jag. Still God! Just the image of the tassels still make me physically cringe. The colors did not even match or mesh or work!

True most men do not care about shoes, some men can appreciate some fashion.

I didn't get the girly "shoe appreciation" gene.

I don't love them or hate them, unless they hurt my feet. Then I'm on with the hate. Everything else is a mystery.
