euchrid Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Alexander McQueen must need his head examined---- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1218802/Alexander-McQueens-tall-order-Towering-12-inch-boots-Paris-catwalk-walking-.html Always High-Heel Responsibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyourtoes Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Well, I guess it was bound to happen. Since apparently so few people had seen ballet heels before the past year or so when Beyonce et al showed up wearing them publicly, someone was bound to come up with a copy for the runways. In order to keep any sense of resemblance to real ballet heels using platforms like that, they had to go way up on the heels. Of course the shoe is (barely) in proportion to itself, but compared to the wearer is more like bride of Frankenstein goes fetish shoe. I'm sure those are comfortable enough, but they seem a heck of a lot more dangerous than the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-a Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 What can I say... I think they look like a vase rather than a shoe. I usually like McQueens shoes but not this time. “Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels” www.heelsoholic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnsofheels Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Must say though, I think the whole outfit looks pretty cool, otherworldly, animalistic in some cases but the shoes.......hmmm.......maybe doorstop vases. I agree with M-a, I usually like his stuff but not the shoes - this time. Mtnsofheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those aren't ballet boots. Those are "just" huge platforms, with the top part of the bootie "blown up" with some decoration. Look how the models walk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-bHdKABy-4 Ballet boot walking looks differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1g0r Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 bone ugly. like 10 miles of bad texas backroads. the north end of a south-bound mule. the puckered part of a dog. (insert non-available "puking smiley" here) society has decided that men will be confined to certain items of clothing, and certain modes of presentation. until we rebel PERSONALLY against this, we are diminished!

Dawn HH Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Those shoes might be all right for the runway, but I don't think that they will ever show up in the high street stores. Yippee!!!.
