Alih Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 These are some pretty funky heels has any one seen any more or know where thay come from http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/1353/1303059imgth3.jpg
Elegant Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 They look more like little chairs than shoes. Pretty avant-garde. What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!
HighBoots Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Oh yes, there were posts about those in the past already ... My opinion didn't change : those are utterly ugly.
marrup Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 These Shoes were made some time ago in Germany. They are not prduced any longer ...
johnieheel Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 My first thought was they look like little shoe chairs also and they are the ugliest thing I have ever seen. YUK!!! real men wear heels
Phoenix Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Can't imagine walking in those at all. IMO they are ugly.
toryd Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 The shoes referenced above were privately made in Germany and were called "Walking Machines". You can tell from the poorly designed sole and arch curvature that they were designed only to be posed in for photographic purposes.
Richy Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 A german site www.legsworld.de did a couple of photo features on them. Try the January 2001 updates.
derf Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 There used to be a website called www.prettyshoe.com that sold those. I personally love them but think that they would look better with chain straps and padlocks. I guess I'm a little into self shoe bondage. I just wish I had the money to buy them when they were available.
michellewaterston Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I actually owned a pair like these made by 6 inch heels forever a few years back. Instead of the tubing I had them made with the metal straps and padocks like their other metal sandals. Absolutely brutal to walk in (yet ohhh so fun)!!! Forget about walking around quietly...kah-klank, kah-klank...

michellewaterston Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 They were not well made and fell apart. Looking for a new pair Check out this bog http://metalhighheelstemptations.blogspot.com/ they also have a post on YouTube

Looking for a new pair Check out this bog http://metalhighheelstemptations.blogspot.com/ they also have a post on YouTube <<< *** >>> Have you considered making shoes with metal parts? I made some nice yet captivating platforms from a wood mule shoe. After cutting off the vamp I used colored household electrical wire for vamp straps. Ankle strapping was aviation cable in clear tubing (very difficult to cut) with crimped eyelets on ends. Once padlocks went on, they weren't coming off easily. She told me they were "reasonable" to walk in. I may have pictures somewhere. Shoes have been passed on, but I'm working on a better design, so I'll post again when images are available. Lock, pose then prance!
michellewaterston Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Love to see those pic! I've gone back to making extreme arch wood platforms. And maybe continue my line of concrete platforms. They're cold, rough on the toes and weigh a ton!
