Today's theme, as assigned by our fearless leader Morgen, is SPIKE.At first I had no clue what to post for this.
After a lot of thinking, I wondered if perhaps I could do an entire post on migraines, which feel like a giant toxic spike is going into my eyeball. Then I thought maybe I could talk about how much I recently enjoyed Sprite spiked with blueberry schnapps.
But eventually it dawned on me that I knew the perfect thing for this topic. One of the definitions Morgen posted was this:
6. spikes, a pair of shoes having such projections.
Ah! Yes! This reminded me of a set of pictures my mom e-mailed me last week. They're a series of pictures of shoes which are the "latest fashions from Italy and Japan."
Some of them are 'spikes', and others are just, well, see for yourself:
And, last but not least, MY FAVORITE:
I'm afraid to ask how much all these COST!
I'm afraid to ask how much all these COST!
I kept looking at those trying to figure out how you gals would walk in them!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and some wonky shoes.
OMG, these can only be invented and created by a MAN ! He doesn't have to walk "on" them. I really don't see myself stilting through the landscape with THAT !! But it's funny I took spiky shoes as subject too !
ReplyDeletewow great shoes especially the spikes!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord... who would wear those? lol
ReplyDeleteMy calves and soles are already getting cramps by just looking at those photos. :-D Amazing, those shoes are.
ReplyDeleteErm... I´m not sure if they are made to WALK in them... maybe they are designed to wear tehm while... having... a... nap? LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm with Sanni on this one. I think those shoes were designed for..ahem...purposes other than walking...
ReplyDeletemy word honey, there are some ankle breakers there for sure!!
ReplyDeletesmiles, bee
wow - yes, I thought a migraine spike through the eyeball would be conjured up, but these shoes are fab!
ReplyDeleteMy gut instinct tells me a gay man designed these.
And the horse-shoe ones = wickedly fun! I want a pair!
Thanks for participating in

I think Japan put a legal limit on the height of heels because girls..and probably some guys were injuring themselves because they could not "Feel the ground"
ReplyDeletewow! I am 5'11", I only guess how tall those would make me!? 6'4" maybe?
ReplyDeleteOw, I see pain! The horse shoe soled shoes put a new spin on the old song "Gonna Walk All Over You."
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is ouch! I think I'll just stick with my Crocs and save my feet from torture. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, that last red pair really creeped me out. It's like a foot fetishist crossed paths with an insane architect.
