How anyone could begin to even walk in these is totally beyond me. Thank goodness most women didn't even try. I can only imagine the injuries that would come from that endeavour. Besides, in my opinion they are really ugly!
Armadillo Shoes

Though they haven’t been around long enough to really be historic, as they were designed by Alexander McQueen in 2010, armadillo shoes will surely go down as one of the worst of the worst. Everyone hopes these shoes will stay in the annals of fashion history, where they belong, never to be seen on a runway or at an award show again.
The first line of armadillo shoes were carved out of wood, which means they’re probably just as uncomfortable as they appear. The shoes were famously worn by Lady Gaga, who is notorious for bizarre fashion choices, and they sold for around $3,900 to $10,000 per pair. Only a relative few were ever produced—and only for extremely special clients, such as Gaga herself. Though Gaga made them work, one Vogue fashion blogger admitted they are impossible to walk in. No surprise there.
Maybe Lady Gaga could pull these shoes off, but I seriously doubt that anyone else could, no matter how hard they try. That's probably a good thing. Makes a good topic for Freaky Friday, though.
Coffee out on the patio again this morning...OK?
They look more like some kind of native drinking mugs......
ReplyDeleteHaving worn spiked heels in my younger years, I have no idea how anyone could wear these shoes. There wouldn't be any flexibility in them which would be needed for walking. Only Lady Gaga - who is nuts - would even think of putting these on. Coffee outside sounds delightful. Have a great weekend. P.S. They are really ugly shoes.
ReplyDeleteHey Taminator...
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, they kinda do.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hey Linda...
I'm glad that I wan't the only one who thought so.
I appreciate you coming by this morning!
These not only look like they would be torture to wear, they are just mud ugly!
ReplyDeleteGood Grief these are horrible looking and I can't imagine what they would do to your feet and ankles. Crazy fashions in the world
ReplyDeleteI'm running sooo late this morning but coffee on the patio is first thing.
Don't need the shoes as we have an armadillo who faithfully digs holes for us to fall in.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a ballet dancer would be able to wear them.
ReplyDeleteHey Mamahen...
ReplyDeleteOn that I have to agree!

Hey Jo...
I can only imagine that they would cause some angle damage at the very least!
