12 Shoes For 12 Lovers
NYC based artist Sebastian Errazuriz has created a series of exquisitely-designed shoes that [were] inspired by his past failed romantic relationships. Each shoe comes with a brief description of the girl from his past or the sexual history of each relationship and how it ended.
Pain can certainly inspire art, especially when the pain is self-inflicted…

I am certainly hoping these
I am certainly hoping these shoes are similar to the concept cars ideas that come out of the auto industry. Other than that, I have to believe that the designers of these articles of wear were/are on some serious drugs that were not prescribed by any doctor. Goes right along with the various articles of clothing that is brought out each year by the clothing designers that are designed to make any normal woman ill, just thinking it would be wonderful to wear those items. Serious alcohol intake or drug intake indeed.
Just my take on it all.

So...
taking design to the limit…of a drug and alcohol-induced coma? :D
While some of the linked blog posts by Susan Yang (such as the “12 Shoes for 12 Lovers” and the fantasy designs by Robert Tabor) picture table-top sculptures that are not wearable, the others are actual shoes that are (or were) offered for sale by their designers. One style of the sugar cone ice cream heels are even listed as being sold out.
Not that I would want any of them, but a few of the styles shown on Simply Creative: Unique Shoes and Stilettos Designs are still in production, and relatively popular in their niche markets.
Heel-less shoes and “lever” heels are made by several designers, and show up in mainstream online catalogs from time to time. Attach horse shoes to heel-less boots, and you have “pony” boots, which are popular in the BDSM and fetish niches.
Ballet heels are also popular in the BDSM and fetish niches. There are some high-quality examples of pony boots, ballet heels, and other fetish wear to be seen at http://www.punitiveshoes.com/index_en.shtml
These “high heel sneakers” are not made by Nike (AFAIK Nike does not currently make anything in heels), but by Chinese manufacturers infamous for designer label knock-offs. But “high heel sneakers” do occasionally show up in mainstream offerings as novelty items. None of those are as nicely done, however, as some of the “Nike” stilettos made in China.
Or in other words,
Yuck!
...or
…taking design to the limit…of extremely bad taste? XD
One girl's heels are another girl's art
I haven't followed all the links, but sometimes a fun pair of heels are kicky! Regarding the heels that look like pump jacks, you do know they are used on "stripper" wells, don't you?!
I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.
Aaaaaaannnd...
the stripper heels shown on Simply Creative: Unique Shoes and Stilettos Designs have wishing wells (AKA “tip jars”)…
It has become the epitome of
It has become the epitome of a woman look. I just dont like the idea using too much leather of animals which I refer to exotic ones.
