To think ASOS have succeeded in making the ugliest shoes of all time?

Now I know that year on year, ASOS never fail to make some absolute monstrosities. Injurious to the eyes. Painful to behold. Insults to the good name of footwear.

But these... these might just be the ugliest I’ve ever seen.

Watch the video to see them in all their hideous glory...

Can anyone top that?

Wowza! I couldn't be arsed with the faff of getting them on and off. Luckily I don't have the legs for them!

VelociraptorRex · 15/05/2020 18:54

I must be getting old... but what happens when you want to sit down in them?? I hope those straps are stretchy Grin were there any reviews OP?

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 15/05/2020 18:56

Gladiator wedges!

Grin

Not sure if anyone else remembers this but there was a woman arrested in Belfast a few summers ago for attacking someone in a park. It was all caught on camera and she was wearing gladiator sandals. The videos were shared widely on SM.

I wonder if there’ll be a sequel now she has new shoes to showcase Grin

There's nothing to do but blink... 🤔

1100 quid btw

HeretoThereandBackAgain · 15/05/2020 19:03

They look stupid, but they’re not as ugly as Birkenstocks or as trashy as flip flops!

Witchend · 15/05/2020 19:05

Remember who commended thy yellow stockings and wished to see thee ever crossgartered… now you can attempt both in one set of footwear.

Lovecat · 15/05/2020 19:06

Good Lord. I was expected to wear something similar in the late 90's when playing a Roman prostitute in A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. Coupled with a Xenia Warrior Princess studded leather bra and gladiator skirt.

Those fecking straps slip and fall down every time you move, so you end up the Ancient Roman equivalent of Nora Batty... I put up with them for the dress rehearsal and then thank God the director agreed I could swap them for boots...

@OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow I bet they are mega popular in Japan!!

@AngeloMysterioso oh my! Maybe yeah!

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 15/05/2020 19:08

Yabu. These are the ugliest shoes ever! This thread has me crying with laughter every time I read it Grin (the link in the OP no longer works so here are the 'desert sandals with removable socks')

60% off and sizes 8 and 9 sold out. I think they may be popular with RuPaul's friends. They're the only ones with the legs to carry them off as they have muscle and no fat.

amijustparanoidorjuststoned · 15/05/2020 19:09

@CuppaZa I absolutely howled at your Grin

amijustparanoidorjuststoned · 15/05/2020 19:10

Your comment, I mean! Sorry I've had a wine

AngeloMysterioso · 15/05/2020 19:10

Actually if you just search “wedge” on ASOS it’s like a gallery of fugly footwear...

Fgs do you have no imagination?? I have those in psychedelic pink.

Dh and I also have our bare foot shoes when we want to have bare feet but don’t want to catch the coronavirus and my alternative rain boots. In case of floods.

I was a former girl guide. These are almost gg blue.... Must be prepared!

I desperately want to click on some of these to have a closer look but I know that if I do I will be spammed by crap shoes forever!!

psychomath · 15/05/2020 19:35

Mummyoflittledragon I don't know what's going on in your first picture but it will forever haunt my nightmares from now on D:

Godzillasonice · 15/05/2020 19:36

My legs would look like this in those shoes!! As for the Disney ones I know someone who just bought some like that they are awful.

Good lord dibble15 my eyes!

ChateauMyself · 15/05/2020 19:42

I think shoe designers (not so secretly) hate women.

damnthatanxiety · 15/05/2020 19:43

I think these come pretty high up on the ugly list
