Well That's Awkward: Scary Beautiful Shoes



I love shoes, they are the perfect way to completely change an outfit. You can dress it up or down based on what footwear you choose. These shoes by Leanie van der Vyver were created to be social commentary about the lengths women will go, to be labeled beautiful. The shoes themselves are terrifying but the message behind them is nice. How many times have I worn a pair of too high, super painful heels because they looked cute? A LOT.

These shoes are in a word, backwards. Your foot goes straight down and your shin presses against the front of the shoe for "balance". They remind me of lobster claws combined with ballet shoes. Nothing about this footwear looks safe to me, broken toes anyone? Watch the video below to see a model walk verrrrry slowly in these shoes.

Please remember these are a project not a fashion statement, don't go out looking to buy these.
