Splendid thread.

I will admit to buying, around 30 years ago, and still owning, a pair of pink rubber flip-flops (think poundland) WITH KITTEN HEELS!

Lassi · 21/06/2024 00:36

I can’t decide which are the best, ie the worst. Some of them have actually made me physically shudder 😂

The best laugh I’ve had all day. The photo of them worn with jeans 😂😂

And on sale for only £780 😂

How on earth does stuff like that sell out? Only one size left in stock at the bargain price of £780 👌

Loving this thread. The winter's coming pink boots made me laugh out loud.

AnneKipankitoo · 21/06/2024 08:28

Looks like they had a 5 year old make shoes out of the cleaning cupboard contents.

Ha, mine is still available 🥰
Love the “Don't miss the gold Anagram motif embossed on the tongue” in the description - it is somewhat hidden amongst all the greenery.

Definite "Doctor Who monster" vibe with these ones

I would rather die than be see in public in those.

No. No, for so many reasons.
Over £300!
I would disagree with their description that 'The 'Puffer Boot' is the first-of-its-kind silhouette'. My nan had something similar for gardening. They weren't meant to look like that but went a bit strange after almost melting on a very hot day.
Second hand so they've had someone's sweaty feet in them.
Ugly. Really, really ugly.
However, plastic so you can wash away sweaty feet residue.

I remember ballet flats that had the exact same shape as the top of the shoe from the early 00s. And block heels from the 90s, just like the bottom half. It's like the designer has rehashed the two styles into a right mess. Why would anyone with a £190 to spend on shoes buy those?

I couldn't possibly comment as I am considering bidding for these shoes that belonged to the late Vivienne Westwood. I do not understand footwear or what is attractive, clearly Grin

Hmm my pervy boss would love these !

PyongyangKipperbang · 21/06/2024 23:22

Oh I saw these on a documentary!!

I caught the tail end (going back at least 15 years) waiting for something else to start and ended up Sky+ ing it as I was fascinated!

It was at a sex toy/porn/fetish etc show. These shoes were/are HUGELY popular amongst drag queens and foot fetishists apparently. So the thing is about how you get the look of the en pointe without actually having to hold the position if you dont know ballet. If thats your thing, then its A THING. Dont get it myself.

Theyre like something one of the Wombles would wear 😱

SiobhanSharpe · 21/06/2024 23:48

Does anyone remember Rosa Kleb, the Russian assassin in the film From Russia With Love?
She killed using her shoes as weapons, she pressed something on the (clunky, black) shoe and a knife sprang out at the front of it, she would advance towards her victim and kick him in the shins. Unfortunately when the knife was extended she couldn't actually walk much in the shoes and 007 despatched her easily....
Rosa's knife-shoes were reminiscent of the first pair -- but not nearly as ugly.

@Needtofixmyageingskin Those black ones really made me feel physically sick! I quite like those giraffe ones- kinda cute😳

Can someone actually wear these? Are they able to balance? Intriguing stuff!
Fab thread OP. One can never have too many shoes and so many to choose from 😆

You could grow strawberries through the holes in that bag, @countcalculia - then have them available as a handy snack on the go?

Don’t normally come on this board, but after a crappy day, thank you very much for the well needed laugh. The thought someone would spend over £8,000 in the sale, for some hideous shoes that would be impossible to wear anyway.

£10,000 full price! Madness!
