Freaky Footwear That Make Our Toes Curl

Fashion designers have a knack for creating innovative and eye-catching pieces that can make even the most boring outfit stand out. But that’s not always a good thing. They sometimes take things a little too far, especially when it comes to footwear. Throughout the years, we’ve seen some truly ridiculous shoes that leave us scratching our heads and wondering, “who would actually wear these?”

From platform shoes that resemble Chewbacca’s feet to heels with millipedes glued on them, there seems to be no limit to designers’…creativity. But, hey, the crazier the shoe, the more attention it garners.

While these shoes may be works of art in their own right, they’re definitely not the most practical footwear options. Then again, sometimes fashion is about making a statement, even if that statement makes others cringe and sets you back a couple of thousand dollars.

Play Pretend

Do you remember when, a few years ago, those fitted running shoes were all the rage? It seems like haute couture was just as intriged as we are. Check out the latest and greatest invention in footwear: the heel with a sock attached to it!

Now, we know what you’re thinking. Won’t the sock get all sweaty and gross? Who cares! Doesn’t fashion mean having to suffer for style? So go ahead, slip on a pair of these babies, and play pretend that it’s the most comfortable footwear you’ve worn in your life!

Sky is the Limit

Someone looked at the humble Croc and thought, “You know what this needs? More Crocs.” And thus, the multi-stack Crocs shoe was born. With its towering stack of Crocs, this shoe is a true engineering marvel. It’s light, durable, bad for the environment, but economically practical.

Who needs stilettos when you can have a shoe that is basically a ladder for your feet? Even better, you can customize it to your heart’s content. Want five layers of plastic? Ten? Twenty? Just watch your head on the doorframe on your way out of the store.

Inspired by the Deep Seas

Prepare to dive into the depths of fashion with the latest shoe sensation: the deep-sea creature-inspired shoe! Now you can adorn your feet with a shoe that’s inspired by the wacky and wonderful creatures that live beyond the oceanic twilight zone.

This shoe is sure to turn heads, and maybe even attract others with that little lure. Not to mention, you’ll feel like a mermaid every time you slip them on. Embrace your inner sea creature and step out in style with these fishy (but fabulous) shoes.

Likes Them Wild

It’s time to take a walk on the wild side. With its cozy felt material and bold forest-inspired pattern, this shoe is the perfect way to bring a little bit of the outdoors into your daily life. Who needs a hike in the woods when you have these on?

Not only will these shoes show off your love of nature, but they are a great conversation starter. “Oh, these shoes? They’re inspired by the forest, you know, the trees and the bears. You know me. I love ’em wild!”

Durability

This marvel of footwear engineering is the love child of Crocs and a croc. Imagine the comfort, safety, and ventilation of Crocs combined with a crocodile skull. You can wear them on a hike or to a fancy dinner party.

Rockin’ At Tea Parties

This shoe is not for shy people—it’s for those who like their clothes as loud and proud as they are. The Glitter Kettle combines the sparkle of a disco ball, the child-like appeal of a tea party, and is tied together (pun intended) by ballet ribbons.
