Interesting...to say the least

I saw these for sale and my reaction was, truthfully, "Ugly as can be." Maybe others will disagree with me but these are a mess as they look like shoes a clown would wear. I think they are personally hand painted.

As a good friend would say:  "wouldn't be caught dead in a ditch" wearing these...

Believe it or not, the asking price was $100/85 Euros/75 Pounds. Seriously?

I can see them as part of a costume, but probably not for lunch. To each their own

 

If someone does wear them, I'll congratulate their confidence level.

Hideous. Truly hideous.

Definitely not my cup of tea

I wonder if they also glow in the dark.

I would buy them only so that they could be destroyed, possibly by fire or similar means.

They remind me of my Grandmother's Tole Painting endeavors. A lot of people hold fond memories of their grandmother, but not me; mine was abusive and full of pure hatred. Yet, she could not stand people praising someone else up. That included my grandfather who built amazing working wooden toys. To get in on the act she would paint them, and it looked like those shoes. Like a five year old painted them in art class. Yep, she sucked at tole painting.

So did whoever painted those shoes.

Neither of my grandmothers were exactly storybook characters either - unless you're thinking of a wicked witch. One was a psycho and the other was in the rackets.

Somewhere out there, there must be a clown missing their shoes.

[Shyheels]

That was actually my first thought - that they were part of a clown costume

Sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately, the apple did not fall far from the tree. I spent a lot of years in a foster home growing up because of my mother. But it was the best thing that happened to me. Everybody's mother loves them, but since mine did not, it set the bar really low. So when people say, "I don't like you Crushed Vamp", I just nod and say, "My own mother didn't either. So what's your point?" " 🙂

It doesn't get any worse than your own mother not loving you, so now; nothing bothers me!
