#WackyWednesday: Wackiest shoes ever created
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But, when it comes to fashion, the word beauty doesn't always just fit right.
If you are fashion conscious and yearn to own a pair of shoes that will stand out in the crowd, be sure to check out the following 9 pairs of shoes that will grab people’s attention.
1. Insect enlocked shoes
If the thought of bugs and spiders freak you out, these shoes might not be for you. However, they will surely send shivers down your friends back, but it may not be shivers of envy.
2. Oxfords that come with a bite
I don’t know really what to say, but this might be one of the creepiest pairs of shoes I have ever seen.
UK based designers, Mariana Fantich and Dominic Young, of Fantich & Young, created the Alfa Oxford, a pair of shoes embellished with approximately 1,200 teeth embedded into the soles.
The teeth are sourced from China and each pair costs $6 000.
3. Maggots and heels
While some flinch at the thought of maggots, it seems certain designers feel they make a great accessory on high heels. One word comes to mind when looking at these shoes: EW!
4. Stiletto/flipper hybrids
Unless you’re attending a function on the Titanic or in Atlantis, I do not see how these can be useful or attractive.
5. Goldfish heels
Why anyone would see it fitting to put goldfish in their shoes, is beyond me. These shoes are the reason organisations such as the SPCA and PETA exist.
6. Umbrella shoes
While not visually appealing, I reckon these shoes can be rather useful when it is raining.
7. Alligator shoes
These shoes give a whole new meaning to the phrase, see you later alligator. But other than Halloween parties, I don’t see where else you would wear them in public.
8. Combat shoes
Unless you are a child whose parents are in the army or going to a dress up party, I don’t see why anyone would go out in public with these shoes.
9. Hobbit shoes
Whether you are a Lord of the Rings fan or not, no one should ever wear these shoes. It doesn’t matter if you want to walk to Mordor with Frodo, because if you wear these shoes, you will know why Gollum was such a weirdo.
