Danielinheels Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The description says, amongst other things, "You won't find these boots easily." I wonder to whose benefit is that? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5364073884&indexURL=4#ebayphotohosting Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXT-1 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 while I like "exotic dancer" platforms, those things deserve to be burnt -or put in a shoe museum - to be laughed at! I just noticed: there have been NO bids for them yet no wonder, They look right out of a bad 1970's B movie later, TXT-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highheellover Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 nice pair of boots. Girls and heels rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobHH Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 They are called Gladiator shoes, usually sandals, and often better looking than these. Supposed to be fashioned after what Roman gladiators wore in the Colosseum (without heels, of course!). I personally don't think they are that attractive.

Ellen-Jay Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 They look homemade. Awful. Ellen-Jay --------------------------------------------------- The shoes aren't sensible, so why is the talk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockQueen Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I agree with Ellen-Jay about the homemade part....they rather do look like straps of duct tape on the top. HOWEVER...... If the straps were better made, and perhaps the toe had a bit more of a point to it, then I'd probably snap them up and wear them with a nice outfit with a sci-fi fling to it. If you had a black skirt and a black & silver top, then they'd go well. Guess that's why I chose the nickname I did...and it sticks rather well too :-D SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!

Dr. Shoe Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think it's the fact that the square toe and chunky look is at odds with the upper parts.

Bubba136 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 What asdf174 says is true. If anyone really wants to see shoes that are even weider, all they have to do is scroll backwards in this thread and see what we mean. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Mickey68 says, "UGLY THEN, UGLY NOW"!!! I say that they remind me of braces for a deformed or a broken leg. Certainly not my cup of tea. I wouldn't even be able to stand in them despite all of the strap bracing. No, no, no way, Jose!!! UGH-H-H! Cheers--- Mickey68 Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

jo Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 There's an "ugly shoe" thread over at thefashiospot.com in the shoes, shoes, shoes forum. Worth a look too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobHH Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 A link from Elle on line: http://www.elle.com/article.asp?article_id=7983 I wish they would look at their pictures before they publish them and pick models with pretty feet. The heels are weird and some of the feet pretty ugly, in my opinion. Also, toes going off the side of the shoe onto the ground aren't too great. The picture with the strap marks is pretty careless, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafted Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I've seen worse, where all five toes are overhanging and touching the ground. (Bear Claw) Shafted, the boots that is!

I guess when you have a size 8 (narrow) shoe and size 9 medium/wide foot, you just make do in the interest of getting the shot. or maybe not....

sendra45 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I think the pictures are all a bit grim, they are hairy or with overhang or just plain unpleasant. who would be a model if thats what your feet end up looking like. nasty. edited for spelling The angels have the phonebox.

Danielinheels Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 I just looked at all those pictures, EWWW!! totally unfresh. why was number 12's THIRD toe the longest one? why did #9's toes look like they were trying to run away from each other? and worst of all, why were so many of them cliffhanging in several shots?? was that done on purpose or something? ewwwwww.......
