For most of us, shoes are just another thing we have to own, like light bulbs or a tooth brush. They serve their purpose, keeping our feet safe from all the hazards of the world, and that’s as far as it goes. I think about my shoes maybe once a year, when the soles have completely fallen away.
But there are those who look at shoes not as a necessity, and not even as a fashion statement, but as an actual work of art. The kind of shoes that a fashion designer comes up with seemingly only to see what they can trick a model into wearing on the catwalk. Here are 15 of the craziest shoes that are guaranteed to get you a disapproving look from your podiatrist.
