    Meanwhile, continued observation has turned up the following unusual shoe....

    This one is called a 'shoe sculpture' so I do not expect that it is a functional design.

    If you are a woman, how about a shoe that you could actually live inside of? Any takers?

    The Haines Shoe House is a shoe-shaped house in Hallam, Pennsylvania, along the Lincoln Highway. Modeled after a work boot, the house was built by shoe salesman Mahlon Haines in 1948 as a form of advertisement.

    The living room is located in the toe, the kitchen is located in the heel, two bedrooms are located in the ankle, and an ice cream shop is located in the instep.

    This Shoe is from South Africa, Mpumalanga Province, more exactly near Abel Erasmus Pass, built in 1990.

    Now...why the queen of the gay pride parade here has never ridden in the one seat at the top of the heel in said parade?
    You'd thing the owner of this particular art trike could be persuaded to drive it in the parade for a modest sum and the love of lots of drunkenly festive, plastic-bead throwing and outrageously costumed gay people.

    This trike is street legal, but I've not seen it except for parades and events. I imagine at speed that heel-probably about 9 to 10 feet high-would give it a lot of...drag
    And...you know...that brings up an interesting point.

    Why does it have to be the women wearing the wacky shoes?

    Special-order makes many things possible...

    Okay you made me smile first this morning - Thanks

    In answer to your question, most of the money spent on shoes comes from women, so why would you want to put a lot of time in designing mens shoes?

    I searched for 'invisible shoes' and got these. I kind of like the second pair.

    You're welcome, but what a ridiculous art it is! When I was just out of school, I got a January job assisting with inventory at a department store. Until then I never had any occasion to notice the prices of women's shoes. So I remarked to the full-time worker lady I was assisting on how expensive they all were, although there was much less leather and such.

    Me: Why are they so much more expensive than men's shoes?
    She (throwing a high-heeled sandal back in the box in disgust):Because they're so much more stupid!

    n.b. I would insert a photo of a silly piece of lady's footwear here, but I think we've had enough of that, don't you?

    Art is where you find it and I have to say this thread was fun. But on your side I wouldn't want to subject any woman to most of those shoes.

    I know a couple of women who just love to wear crazy shoes.

    Hey, I wear crazy socks and ties so I guess I understand. If they made crazy shoes for men I might consider it, although the older I get the more uncomfortable they become. I can't even wear the negative-heel "Earth shoe" kind of shoes I used to. They make my back hurt.

    And those Skeechers with the ball in the middle of the sole, forget it. I almost fell over in the store, somebody had to grab me.

    I understand that the "fuck-me pumps" David Bowie sang about in the 1970s are now CFMPs: "come fuck me pumps." All the kids talk about 'em.

    I do have a four-foot long Dr. Seuss-style stocking cap.

    I had to look up "fuck me pumps" and found a lyrics video. Play but don't laugh.

    Many girls wear shoes for other girls to admire and couldn't give two craps about what men think. So I've heard ....

    As a man I've heard the same thing, I just can't relate.

    If I was was getting married and I saw my bride to be wearing these shows, I'd be having second thoughts.

    Likewise, I think you should be concerned if she shows up for the nuptials wearing this pair:

    These heels look like big nails that have been pounded in the heel. (Ouch!)
