Genuinely never seen anything like them. Also almost £1000 for a pair of awful red trainers? 🙄🙄🤨🤨

They look like something Inspector Gadget would wear if he took up the long jump. Do springs pop out the heels when you jump to go higher?

Bloody awful

You would be ridiculed wearing these. Also on closer inspection you could do a very cheap homemade version with vibram barefoot running shoes and some left over Christmas candles for the heals for a gracing of the price

Omg these are shocking

Lowhangingfruit · 28/12/2020 22:25

I like them Xmas Smile

You couldn't pay me enough to wear those things.

VenusTiger · 28/12/2020 23:12

They are vile! Looks like the foot off a mannequin - couldn't give them away let alone charge for them.

I've just looked and am now lying in bed crying.
Some of the comments are gold.

Seeing shit like this, you do wonder whether designers play an elaborate long game of 'how far can we go, will people finally just... realise?'

Inspector Gadget... I am crying all over again.

QuestionableMouse · 29/12/2020 01:42

I've decided that I'd love to try a pair in, just to see how weird they are to walk in.

Not in front of anyone that I know, of course. 🙄😂

Those were my thoughts too, @Yamayo.
There is more than a touch of the Emperor's new clothes about this sort of stuff.
Why would anyone spend their hard earned money on this sort of madness?

@IRememberMySpaceBabe

They look like the shoes you would wear as part of a rooster costume
😂😂😂

Jeezo. They look like something Elon Musk would wear to put the bins out.
😆 @Isitgiroday

Well, being diplomatic, they're an acquired taste aren't they 😳 Erm, I like the colour, which is the only positive I can think of, apart from the comments here 😁
