More strange images from my inbox. These shoes look like some kind of art project. I don't think it would be possible to walk in them. |

That does NOT look comfortable!
Posted by Yushi on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 03:22 PMSome of the shoe patterns look to me like ballet point shoes. I think you'd need to be a ballerina to walk in them too!
Posted by JoBi in Sydney, Australia on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 03:26 PMSome of them look like shoes I've seen on Goth Chicks at a club called The Castle.
Posted by Maegan in Tampa, FL - USA on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 03:29 PMI suppose it would be possible to walk in them; the question is, why would anybody want to?
Posted by Accipiter in the Northern Hemisphere, unless They have lied. on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 05:37 PMSomehow I just never pictured Maegan in a Goth club. Nothing personal of course... just didn't expect to hear that.
Posted by Mark-N-Isa in Midwest USA on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 05:38 PMIt is possible to walk in some of those, but not advised for very far. Avoid stairs!
And oddly enough, I've been to The Castle, not your typical goth club. Been about 5 years though.

Maybe the designer just hates women. Although what sort of disfunctional person would wear those things? I would guess that they are shoes only by the broadest definition.
Posted by Christopher Cole in Tucson, AZ on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 06:23 PMI've seen these for sale on a feitish site, and have seen a few of them worn. They're NOT an art project, though they're sometimes called 'come get fucked' shoes.
So long on the internet and you're still ignorant of the stuff people get up to for sex? It's so cute.

Don't know about those shoes in particular, but there are shoes out there that are very similar, and are made for real use.

Those are real shoes. They are catering for the S&M/B&D set; you're not *supposed* to be able to walk in them.
Posted by Miss Rynn on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 11:23 PMYeah, some of them are fetish ballet points.
The second pair (top row) are, I believe, fetish pony shoes.
I have a pair not dissimilar to the second pair on the bottom row, only mine are only six and a half inch platforms and have more buckles etc.
I want a pair of the first ones...

6 1/2 inches? That's over 15cm! 
I've seen shoes similar to the 3rd pair on the top row, only not quite as high, with a more of a stiletto heel. I thought they were gross.

I always wear big shoes, Smerk. It's a running joke with people where I work. I broke my wrist last time I wore some that didn't have a platform or heel.
Personally, I like the ones you don't, but I'm not a big fan of the ballet style ones. I even quite like the pony ones, though.

Those are my boots. I love my boots.
Mine have black spikes instead of the leopard print, though.

Hmmm...makes the boots I wear really tame. I know after looking at all these pictures, it feels as though my boots are comparatively flat! Currently wearing 3 inch heels, but they're just my boots for wearing with pants. My knee-highs are about 4 inch with a 1 inch platform. I love my knee highs!
Posted by Smerk in to mischief on Thu Apr 21, 2005 at 12:59 AMHaving just surreptitiously measured the heel on my boot, I've discovered that my work shoes have a four and a half inch heel.
Maybe that's why people are constantly asking me if they're difficult to walk in...

Definitely real. I have worn similar styles.
Posted by pussinboots in Bellingham WA on Thu Apr 21, 2005 at 01:39 AMI've just found a lovely pair of thigh highs online for much cheapness and they don't do them in my size!

This page has a lot of the ballet fetish style shoes.

...*I* wasn't a Goth Chick in the club, I was there with friends.
Anywho...my second thought was fetish. I wore a pair of tall shoes once that made my toes fall asleep. I returned them the next day. I'm currently in sneakers, I have slightly heeled shoes, but at 5'10", I don't really need a lot to help my height. My husband is 6'4" or so, and wearing shoes too high put us eye to eye, which is a little weird when we go out. I have a pair of heeled boots, but they're just regular boots. Of the leather persuasion.
