Shoe Non sequitur

#1 Post by christie1111 » Fri Oct 12, 2007 8:42 pm

I hope I spelled that right! :)

I saw some ridiculous shoes on GMA this morning. 'Heel' was under the toe area.

Really dumb looking.

I have to say that a ton of Marc Jacobs clothes and shoes are awful.

Seriously, when I go shopping and see his stuff, I can't imagine who would wear it. They are so fashion victim and ill-fitting. It makes me think he hates women.

Thanks for that embedded photo, Bix, which explains what I wasn't about to click on the link to see. So, actually, this "heel" is a horizontal support, presumably running under a diagonal reinforcement for the arch?

From the initial post, I was imaginign some exaggerated earth shoe thingie and wondering how anyone could possibly endure that.

These shoes are clever, for those too-much-money-for-their-own-good shoppers. :roll:

Ooh, look. The purse comes with its own auxiliary purse!

Can I get it in any other colors??

And you are right, Bix. This designer has some serious female body issues.

They look horrible on the models. On a normal-size person, it would be times ten.
