i wanted to gate keep these but I’m obsessed with them they’re so beautiful and so hideous…. I got a pair on eBay they’re z coils and I think they are fixing my duckfooted walk as well as being The perfect unfeminine heel
lucius they were a little Uncomfortable and stiff at first (also heavy but I like it) in my toe area but after a little breaking in I’m lovin them - I think they’re genuinely changing my gate because my inner thighs and butt are sore even though I’ve only been walking around a normal amount… plus my feet are not splayed out like a duck anymore…
sofe Oh you are offfffffff. Look — I like ugly shoes. They’re fun. They are unique. But they need to serve a purpose. These (monstrosities) are a byproduct of a creative department with too much $ / not enough good ideas. I love them for EXISTING, because weird & ugly things should exist. But these are a level of gross that slots in (just barely) under nazism. And yet I love that if you are are able to make them work, they speak wonders of your personal style being cooler than the person next to you.
marianoleonczik actually 🤓☝️they’re orthopedic! Their ugliness is Almost entirely function based, though I do agree with you that ugliness for the sake of ugliness is sinful, these ones feel to me more like a hideous clunky machine than a shoe.… also they feel really bouncy lol
An ugly bugly little shoe can really add some pizzaz to an outfit. I recently got these diesel sneakers off eBay for $50, I think they’re cool but also a little ugly which is my fave type of shoe.
Some other ugly shoes I own or like:
Merrell Jungle Moc
Oakley Factory Team Flesh Sandal
Nike Air Rift
Ruth Neubauer clogs
Prada Sport sneakers circa 90s-01
i love them too! i think i like them bc they offer a styling challenge, like they would be really easy to make ugly, and they would be eye catching.
theyre awful looking but i realllyy need a pair!!
Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.
