I would never wear those because it looks ugly and its too easy to fall wearing them. I would prefer either something more comfortable or something with a heel on them. But that is just my opinion on the subject.

Haha~
I don't think they invented them for 'normal' people, obviously.
Has anyone seen these:





I think they are amazing, and would actually wear them.
for the ones pictured first I just find them ugly
(due to not liking the whole gladiator style )

Kikiloveyou - yes, I have seen those, in fashion magazines and all. I don't remember the specific name of the designer brand (it was HUGE though!), but these are becomming more and more prevalent in the fashion industry. Hmm.

The woman is walking on some sort of "wedge" as a heel. Much better, I suppose, than nothing at all o.O

Oy, I'd fall down in an instant!
Also, they look like they would cramp my feet. Just look at that girl's poor toesies!

f_r_E_a_K- Marc Jacobs :3
I remember them being all over the fashion news, haha.
And the ones in the first picture are Antonio Berardi.

But yeah, there are tons of shoes like this around now!
Just I think the first ones are so much more extreme
(and bad looking.. xD )
because you can't see the part of the shoe that helps support her foot
(like the little wooden block on the Marc Jacob shoes).



here are more examples for anyone:


Manolo Blahnik




United Nude
(haha, called the 'Porn Z' )




Currently in a shoe museum
From the 1950's by an unknown Italian designer




Marc Jacobs again
look how cute~!



I just wonder if you bounce up and down slightly in wearing them..
xD although I hope they are more structurly sound then that.

Wow, that looks really strange!
And kinda painful. I mean, does she have to stand on her toes the whole time?
I really pity the poor girl who actually had to WALK on those things.
But the idea is not that bad at all, I love new things in the fashion world.
Still...mhhh o__o"

Hahahah the first thing I thought when I saw that picture was...
"Uh noooo the heels fell off my shoes! I'll hurry up and fix them before someone notices!" *puts the heel on the wrong place*
Muhahaha

I'm so stuuupid XD

I'm just thinking: Why did anybody make up a shoe like this? oO Looks like it's been photoedited or something, and they have "erased" the heel xD

Just wondering.. What are shoes like that called? ö

How do you even walk in those! I imagine it'd be like walking on your tippy toes all the time...and that hurts after a while, more than regular high heels.

Wow.

They found new, completely stupid ways to make shoes that completely ruin your feet! >< And the look ugly too.

Hooray for fashion...
