Louboutin Sells Trash for $1000

Shoe Critic — Wed, 08 May 2013 06:59:53 +0000

Christian Louboutin has taken on the eco-friendly route. These Eurotrash peep-toes feature a collage of random scraps of paper, fabric, and thread (aka: Paris trash). So, no two pairs are exactly the same. They retail for $1095. Who wants to pay for them?

Troy Polamalu for Lanvin?

Shoe Critic — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 02:10:47 +0000

Check out these Lanvin platform pumps. It looks like Pittsburg Steelers player, Troy Polamalu, donated a bit of his hair to make these. Well, not really, but in all seriousness, am I being Punked? These cannot be shoes that they expect people to wear for real.

These are supposedly the new "It" shoes. Worn here by Sarah Jessica Parker and Blake Lively. These lion paws were designed by Christian Louboutin and exceed the $4,000 price point. I hope no lions were hurt in the making of these shoes. Photos from Celebrity Gossip Blog and Chance TV

Giving your pink heels to a group of 3rd grade girls probably wasn't the best idea, now was it? Who comes up with this stuff? Photo from Getty Images

Hamster play things

This shoe was illustrating an article on The Economist. To me they just look like the tunnels they put in hamster cages to keep them entertained.

Something Fishy

I think these should be reported to PETA. I wonder who thought fish might like to live in a shoe. All the motion might prove to be too much for him. And you'll end up walking around with a dead fish in your shoe. Wonderful!

We posted these shoes last year, but they keep coming up whenever I search for ugly shoes. I think they deserve a re-post. Photos from Soda Head

What's with rainbow shoes? Here are the original Salvatore Ferragamo shoes created for Judy Garland in 1938 and below are the ugly knock-offs. Are we getting fashion advice from Rainbow Brite?

I have returned with a shoe found by one of our readers. Besides it being a horrible shoe, it's also a horrible fit! Thanks so much for the picture. To all – please feel free to send any ugly shoes you encounter in you day to day life and I will post them here.

...this is what they would wear. Yup, Betsey Johnson showed her Lizzy Combat Boot on the Fall 2011 Runway Show. I wonder what soldiers in Afghanistan think about this.
