Okay, this is the weirdest, most uncomfortable-looking, yet strangely compelling pair of shoes I've ever seen.
They're like M.C. Escher shoes.
These, on the other hand, are gorgeous. They're not the first shoes I want on my wish list (that would be omg these), but they're on my wish list.
I love shoes. I have far too many pairs, and even though I gave up a bunch when we moved, there are lots that I simply can't part with, because they're freaking works of art. I get so many compliments on my shoes, you have no idea. And I get most of them from DSW or the thrift (my favourite was a pair of Etienne Aignier Victorian-style ankle boots from the '80s), and they're all comfortable (or I totally wouldn't wear them).
I'm just very lucky at finding awesome shoes. And while the first pair I linked to are amazing as far as artistic design goes, you wouldn't catch me in them, because I'd kill myself.

Or pole dancing... There do seem to be several styles that fit that job...
I would totally wear those velvet boots.

No connection to the seller, just that the boots are on my want list as well...

How do women walk in heels? All the cute shoes have heels and I have never learned how to do it! There must be some trick I'm missing because a modest 2-inch mary jane leaves me hobbling and crying after two hours, but I see ladies walk by all day in vicious high heels without apparent pain!
I "perform" femininity to a high degree, and always have (it was a compensatory device for thinking I was ugly), so I got into heels very early. I can run in them, dance in them, and stay all day in them (I once walked all over the historic district in Philadelphia in a lovely pair of heels because I was under the impression I was meeting my brother for lunch, not lunch and a tour!), but not everyone can, or should. I counteract the achilles heel shortening by spending most of my time barefoot.
Are they not nifty?

I can't justify Fluevogs; I buy all my shoes discounted. However, I haunt the thrifts, hoping for something to turn up! I've found really good designer stuff that way; it's just a matter of being there on the right day. And patience. :)
Thrift stores by me usually get in very good clothes, but not shoes. More's the pity.
