They remind me of the penis gords worn by natives in Papua New Guinea (I believe).

Those, along with several other pairs, were listed as men's shoes. IIRC, the asking price for each pair was in the hundreds of dollars. WTF

I think it's hard to criticize 50+ year old shoes for sh*t's sake. The guy who ordered them's probably been dead as long as many SF members have been alive. I DID have trouble with them being (essentially) high heels for men, though.

All these posts and yet nary a mention of those LV monstrosities with the monogram logo branded all over them.
