I kinda like the spider heels and the Giger heels. They're fun, if not overly tasteful.

I'm much less bothered by the clearly fun shoes in this thread than the ones that somebody though were legitimately good looking.

Yes, I see your point. I was going overboard and conflating shoes that are trainwrecks with shoes that are outlandish.

Not trying to poke fun at him (although, I suppose, I don't like what he's wearing)—this Bean Boot fad is like the male equivalent of Ugg boots!

Saw this in the Kintetsu department store the other day. Forgot the manufacturer's name. EDIT: They are by Magnanni. The pair on the bottom, just out of frame, are some very nice Grensons that I haven't found a counterpart to online (i.e., at a sane price).

Those shoes appear to have been inspired by the flounder fish.

Why would anyone put a sperm on / wear shoes with a sperm on them?
