Alexander McQueen armadillo shoes: YEA or NAY?





The appeal of these things has me completely baffled. Maybe I'm just a boring old fart. What say you, org? YEA or NAY?

I'm sorry but I love these freaky ass shoes. I would wear them if I was a girl.

Lady Gaga wears them in the video for Bad Romance.

They're so ugly they're fab. If I were a woman I'd wear that shit to like some big art opening or Museum event.

That's about it tho. Then I'd shadow box 'em as art.

It's mostly illusion. Your foot wouldn't hurt any more than probably a 5" (possibly less). The real danger is in twisting and breaking an ankle.

Ya, man...rolling an ankle in those ugly bitches would be awful.

Yay for the runway and photographs, nay as practical footwear.

I love them, but would never wear them.

Love them in photo shoots, videos, etc. Would likely never wear them myself, but as much as I find them rather ugly, I'm also strangely fascinated by them. neutral

Nay! They remind me of horse hooves. I really can't see the appeal, and I usually love 'weird' things

Nobody has to wear them.

Most people couldn't afford them.

I meant why aren't men expected to wear this shit? Don't get me wrong, I think it's art. I'd sit it in the middle of my dining room table, but geez...why do us women throughout history have to have the 'bound' feet? The painful shoes? The weakened arches? I love my heels but damn... lol


This is ridiculous. razz
