I would totally wear the Geiger shoes.

I like saddle shoes, and I like S&M, so I love these.

Some of those were sculptures made of plaster and shouldn't count. Anyone actually worn a pair of those heel-less heels? Is it manageable?

I'm big into hot feet and shoes, those mostly just sucked.

The convertible from high heel to flat shoe? Brilliant! I'd wear them!

I remember seeing a pic of Victoria Beckham in some recently but can't find it in a quick search.

Here we go, knew I'd find it as soon as I decided to post without it... Beckham's heel-less boots (new window)

Paltrow has got it going on when it comes to shoes!
Link (new window) - some killer shots in this gallery!

IMHO: Nothing is sexier than a woman wearing closed toe, stilletto heels.

As worn by Paltrow (new window). Though, to me, these shoes seem to specifically miss the whole point of high heel shoes! :)

Nice to see Billy Connolly's banana boots in there.

I can walk on my toes- you just need to have strong calves. It's how I grew up- was very hard to convert to regular walking. I still do it if I'm not thinking.

Okay, the pop-up heels are freaking awesome. I hate it when I go out downtown and there are grates everywhere. The bastards take up the whole sidewalk except for a little sliver that usually is between a tree and a curb.

Would love to have shoes like that.

Great set of photos - thanks for linking.

Closed toe heels are really cool, but a woman wearing open toe high heel sandals are just as sexy. My mom (who never threw away a thing, esp. clothing) has a pair that date to before WWII. My sister loves to borrow them, she calls them come fark me pumps. It's really something that a shoe made so long ago is in such good shape and still very stylish.

It's attached on the toe.

I'm all about the fish ones. I guess they'd be called 'fish flops.'

Oh, I totally appreciate the angle and it's affect on a womans leg and all that - but, to me at least, it's also the heel itself that makes the look. Can't explain what it is exactly about a slender, tall heel but it's just wickedly hot.

Yes, but I'm a guy- so I doubt the heel would really help me sweep you off your feet.

No. It's just how I learned to walk; I don't know, but it feels much more natural to me. Heels would be a breeze.

To be fair, though, Imelda didn't go for weird, fetish-y shoes. She had 3400 pairs of wearable shoes. Not that many, or even most, were actually WORN, you understand, but they could have been.

I prefer not to wear shoes at all myself, and rarely do unless it's required. You know, jobs and that.

Phillipine star greedy girl
Took the money to buy the world
First a little then the lot
Others` needs where soon forgot
Heard you like a love song
This here one is just for you
In keeping with your taste we hope
It`s called 2000 shoes

Never had a consience
Or any moral views
Even any kins of taste
Just 2000 shoes
If I had the world to sell
Could strike a deal with you
I know you haven`t got the cash
Just 2000 shoes

Catwalk at the embassy
Supplied by human rights
Qadahafi and George Hamilton
Mao Tse Tung and disco lights

Never had a consience
Or any moral views
Even any kins of taste
Just 2000 shoes
If I had the world to sell
Could strike a deal with you
I know you haven`t got the cash
Just 2000 shoes
2000 shoes

So here it is Imelda
Sorry it`s the blues
Would have done it different
If I were in your shoes

OK So Amuse Me 2008-11-09 05:30:59 AM  
OK the 'Fish Flops' and the 'Swim-fin Heels' made me laugh, but most of the rest are just farkin' fugly! Especially the heel-less ones and seroiusly WTF is up with the 'chicken foot', 'white box?!?', 'looooong brown', and, aw hell, all the rest of them?!?

The only pair I'd even remotely consider wearing [of the odd ones] is #20, and only if I were wearing a space/futuristic style dress for some odd reason! I like pretty heels.

The last pair, the 'convertable' ones are cool, very unique and I might wear them if I could get it in a round toe.

+1 to subby for knowing who George W. Bush... I mean Imelda Marcos is. Sheesh, I must be getting old, my mind is playing tricks on me and mixing up which world leader that their country go into poverty while using the position for personal gain is which.

My friend meet Imelda Marcos at his neighbor's party. I always thought it was funny how she said whenever she meets someone they always look at the shoes she is wearing.

/I love telling that story.
