Chunky, funky, bejeweled, bedazzled, and higher than high! These shoes are like wearable art.

Personally, I think these shoes are awesome! But, I think I will admire them from afar. If I tried to wear them I would inevitably end up like this girl:

Poor thing! I hope she was ok!

  • Hahah the first pair always makes me laugh because they’re modeled after HOOVES!
    And ahh this is why I adore shoes, they really are works of art!

  • um…..i think these shoes are…uhhh…interesting. but the first pair..sorry, they’re hideous!

  • Heehee, do you know I still chuckle at the thought of that comment you got. I hope she didn’t get heartburn, she sounded very upset. LOL, it cracks me up…hahahahahahahaha.

    Sorry, onto this post, I definitely appreciate the artistic aspects and as much as I can admire them, I can bring myself to walk in shoes (let’s pretend I could afford these babies) that look uncomfortable to walk in. And that poor model, seriously hope she didn’t break her ankles, that second fall – man she was shaking. I’d be a terrible model, I would’ve crawled off after the first fall. I would’ve worked the hands and knees ;)

  • wow, these are….interesting. I would never wear them, but you’re right, they are nice to look at from afar. And that poor model!

  • I’m not that big a fan of the first pair, but I do love the other ones. Very cool and fierce. Shoes can definitely be a statement, a work of art. Hope your week is going well so far. Cheers!

  • Alexander McQueen right? Soooo crazy yet soooo cool looking. They look like future shoes.

  • ahahahaha best post ever, ok is the first shoe even possible? like wtf that is fashion suicide. That thing should remain in a glass box forreeever lol

  • These shoes are hideously fabulous; especially the first pair. I actually was pretty horrified when I realized that it was a shoe & that was a real woman’s leg/foot lol. Creepy. The last “invisible” heeled shoe is hot, if you actually add heels!

    I think I’ll steer clear of the artistic shoe movement and keep on keepin on with my DSW’s, Charlotte Russe’s & Journey’s lol

  • these are some seriously odd shoes. :) at least you’ll stand out in a crowd, and no-one will ever forget you… “oh of course you remember HER! she was the girl with THOSE shoes!” hahaha.

  • Those shoes are very interesting, but definitely not wearable.
    And those last pair of shoes: how do walk in them?!
    Oh noooo, I feel so bad for that model! (trying not to laugh at her, hehe!!!)

  • Wow, those are some killer shoes! I’m sorry but I want to be able to walk when I’m old, so I’d say “No thank you” to those super-high-and-stylish heels :)

  • Those McQ shoes are INSANE!

    PS: how funny you went to Cuse- I went for undergrad!

  • I would most def eat the dirt in those!

  • Stunning, darling!
    These truly are ART!

  • I didn’t see this video before…poor model…it must have been the worse day of her life…I feel so sorry for her….

    about the shoes, I agree: they are only to be admired….not wearable…

  • I gave a lot of credit to all the models that have to wear those shoes and not fall down. I really want to see someone in real life wear those heels though! Thank you for such a sweet comment on my blog! xxoxooxoxxooxxoo

  • Those shoes are very uncomfortable to look at! It hurts me eyes to look at them, honestly. It would be entirely suicidal to try wearing them, yikes!

  • omg. the alien mcqueens are literally what my nightmares are made of.

  • WOW! Solely a post of EXCELLENCY !!!
    I luv these soles they have that WOW factor but I confess I would end up on the ground with something BROKEN !!!:))
