Latest Shoe Fashions in Japan and Italy

February 22, 2007 / by whereabouts

And you thought YOUR shoes were unconfortable!!!













I think these are positively the most ridiculous things I have seen. This sort of fashion reminds me of when eons ago the court of Kings and Queens held the most queer and ridiculous of all fashions with the jester style shoes of long pointed curly toes. That was the crazy rave then and this rave is even crazier. I think I would be more comfortable looking at men sporting powdered wigs wearing long jackets with knee high black patent-leather boots over white tights! The Old fashion Janet Jackson look, before she was wardrobe malfunctioned. har!

    I love shoes, but like you think these are women killers. Had to give up my 3 inch heals as I am 84, but still wear great shoes. Have boots that have about 2 1/2 in. heels and like all the cute colors. O, to be young again. Ha!! [THUMBUP][SMILE]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    You sure sound young to me! I love shoes too (what woman doesn't?). However, these shoes are...,uh, I can't even think of an appropriate word to call them!
  • KDawg said 1 years ago
    omg! This is just ridiculous! It's like ballet shoes or something!!! [OHMY]
    Won't see me wearing these anytime soon. Or ever, really... [LOL]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    I'm with you on that one! The japanese style shoes remind me of Geisha shoes - where they were terrible uncomfortable and tiny...
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    though I bet they would give you killer calf muscles!

    Second pair from the top, how can you possibly walk?[HUH]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    I have no idea but could you imagine being at an establishment and seeing someone walk in with a pair of one those on? Talk about an attention grabber!
  • elfie33 said 1 years ago
    No way would I even try those on...I would hurt myself...[OHMY]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    [LOL]LOL Those Black patent Boot ones with the huge wavey heels reminds me of those Romper Room Buckets you'd wear on your feet stomping around![LOL Talk about Monster Truck shoes!
  • beabea said 1 years ago
    Oh, now way! I'm old enough to appreciate flat shoes, if I wear shoes at all.[WINK][HEART]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    I think if you put on a pair of flat shoes after walking around in any of the above, you'd have foot and leg cramps! I showed my son...lol, you should have seen his face![OHMY][LOL]
  • ayesart said 1 years ago
    Those shoes look like something a foot fetishist would love....[THUMBUP]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    The person who sent it to me has a daughter who would buy every pair and proudly attempt to display them on her feet (for truly, how could one walk any distance in them? Well, with exception to the Romper Room Boot Buckets - wavey black patent leather boots with 2' wavey heels).[LOL][THUMBUP][LOL]
  • ChihulahuaLover said 1 years ago
    [HUH][OHMY] Oh I have enough trouble with my feet I will stick to my comfy tennis shoes or sandals.[THUMBUP][HEART]

    True story about uncomfortable shoes. Last Saturday milady and I attended the annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Richmond. Neither of us had been to the fund raiser before and wouldn't have this time but for three reasons. (1) Wife was to be formally presented an award for being an outstanding "grass roots worker for peace and justice." (2) A friend who had already bought a ticket and couldn't go gave me his ticket. Milady's was already a freebie. And (3) Barack Obama was the keynote speaker. Anyhow, here's where the shoes come in. The next morning while walking to the parking garage, I noticed a lumpy feeling in my right shoe. I sat down on a convenient bench and emptied the contents of that shoe on the Marriott Hotel's lush carpet. Sunflower seeds! Twenty or thirty of them. Now you may wonder, one, where they came from and, two, why I had not noticed them before (I had worn the same shoes the whole day before). First, the seeds were put in my shoe by one of the mice we share our house with. These were my "dress shoes," the ones I wear every other year when I have to dress up. I've found similar deposits in other places, giving the name "pack rat" -- or "pack mouse" -- a legitimate meaning. Second, I did not previously notice the lump in my right show because the left one was hurting me so much. I have no idea why the left shoe wore a blister on my heel, but it did and I had just that same morning managed to rummage up a couple of Band-aids to put on the blister. Pain went away, lump appeared. Sort of like that falling tree in a forest with no ear to hear. The lump was there, I just didn't "hear" it shouting.

    Ha! Great story!

    Not too long ago I had my vehicle worked on and they asked me what all the little black stuff was that was around and about the engine. One look at it and I knew instantly! I laughed and replied that my chipmunks friends were just looking for a secure close to the food source place to sit while they dine and further went on to say that I had to get secure containers for my bird seed. I later went out and purchased several 30 gallon tubs with lids for all my different seed varieties. It is amazing how much time that has saved me for I no longer have to constantly sweep up all the hulls![THUMBUP]
  • gaillav2006 said 1 years ago
    [GLARE] No way would I wear them. I like to wear no shoes if possible.[THUMBUP]

    At the time of purchase, those wouldn't come in a shoe box but a suitcase!
  • enochwar said 1 years ago
    NO WAY! OHMY][They CANNOT be serious! This is a joke right?[HUH]
    I knew a young girl who had worn high heels for so long that her bones had cramped up her foot. She could not lay her foot flat! She could not wear flat shoes at all.[SAD]
    This has to be a joke. It looks like a Mania Cartoon![THUMBDOWN]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    I think they are ridiculous but that may be because I am getting old![LOL]
  • sweetnspacey said 1 years ago
    That second to last pair - we tall girls wouldn't fit through doorways! How embarrassing! And can you imagine the footprints those would make in the snow?? [LOL] Where did you find these pictures?
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    OMG! That is hysterical!!! They were sent to me from a friend and I failed to post two more pair of boots that worse than any of the shows on this page! I'll update it tomorrow or soemthing...getting ready to leave for my Birthday party - the big 40 (on Monday)! Yikes! I'm old![OHMY]

  • karenf615 said 1 years ago
    I took ballet, tap and toe when I was a kid, and these shoes make ballet toe shoes look like pf flyers. LOL The countries in the orient did have a practice of foot binding, to keep a women's feet small and dainty. It was started by a prince who like the way the "lilly" feet of his concubine looked because they were so small. I don't think it is practiced today tho.
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    No, I don't think it's practiced today either with exception to those who wear some of the shoes above! [LOL]
