I’ve not put any ‘Weird and Wacky designs’ on here for a while – so I shall address that now. I love strange shoes, though it takes me all my time to wear high heels these days (though I just will not be told and do try to persevere). I rather like these shoes. I like the shape of them, and I think that they would probably be comfortable – the hydraulics of them giving at least a bit of support. (link to an interesting shoe blog which featured them)
Now I really like these metal shoes! They would look fantastic – but I should think that they would be pretty uncomfortable to wear. They are the sort of thing the H.R. Giger would design (must do a post on that artist).
He did the visual effects on the film Alien for which he won an Academy Award. Ideal for a female alien perhaps? Do they have real feet? If so – how many?
These of course are by the late Alexander McQueen – a tragic loss to the fashion world. His designs were sometimes outrageous and very impractical – but what an imagination! I love the twisty meanderings of these shoes. they remind me of the nursery rhyme:-
There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a crooked little house.
I don’t think you would be walking very far at all in the last shoes. the nursery rhyme, by the way has its foundation in Kings Charles 1st – the crooked man being the Scottish General Alexander Leslie.
