These Heels Are Made for Splintered Ankles

[livius drusus]

Some non-model types try to walk the length of a runway on the street in the absurd heels featured in Fall '09 fashion collections. Surprisingly, they all survive unscathed.

Those Rodarte boots are hot, I can't lie.

[Ensign Steve]

I :heart: the Manolos.

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Kickass. I love that rich purple.

[Qingdai]

Those red shoes look like the were designed by a sadistic clown.

[Qingdai]

"by sadistic clowns, for masochistic clowns"

No lie, they are hot.

The shoes with the heels that hang limp are stupid and ugly.

QFT

[livius drusus]

Hell to the yes.

The boots look like something out of a JRPG so, yah, hot. Actually, the shoes with the vestigal heels also look like something out of a JRPG, come to think of it.

No lie, they are hot.

So...They shouldn't be worn with that shift, though. Or, anything, for that matter.

[Plant Woman]

Yeah the boots were cool, but give me shoes that don't distort my feet or my spine. They quit binding feet in China, when will women just say no to stupid foot wear.

What is it with those stiletto toes? Are they some kind of self-defense accessory? They do look like they would be useful in New York. For killing cockroaches in the corners of your apartment, that is.

[Qingdai]

There is a steel shank in the heels, so I suppose they could be a good hand weapon. Which would be handy because you certainly couldn't run away from anyone in those heels.

[Angakuk]

No, but a kick in the nuts with those bad girls would probably leave an assailant qualified for guard duty in a harem.

[Ensign Steve]

Can we use this thread to talk about shoes not in the video?

I like these slingbacks from Coach.

So does this mean you need a bigger allowance next week?

[livius drusus]

Sure we can! Those are classic. I like the larger-but-not-obnoxious buckle.

I totally love those clean lines, but oh, Betsey owns me.

I preferred them in yellow, though.

:nuhuh: They're super cute as like art pieces, but I'm only thinking about shoes I would actually wear in public.
