WTF – Shoe Edition

Sometime ago I did what turned out to be a rather popular post on 'Fashion Don’ts for Dudes'. While I thought my list covered ALL of the major clothing sins a guy should refrain from committing, I've recently discovered through a friend a particular shoe item that most definitely needs to be included on the all-time list of atrocious things that guys should never, ever wear.

Case in point, check out these freaky curly-toed boots from south of the border:








While this silly footwear is probably a podiatrist’s dream come true, I’m guessing that even magical elves and leprechauns would be too embarrassed to wear these things!

  4. Um....I am thinking that maybe they wear these boots to make up for..the SIZE of something else(or lack thereof.) Middlechild

  6. I had a gay co-worker a few years ago, who was not Mexican, who had shoes with an upward curve at the toe. He insited they were fashionable, we all insisted they were not and that he looked like an elf. This is the first time I've seen them since 2007, though. Apparently he was "ahead of the curve" in his shoe preferences.

  7. uhhhhh............???????????hmmmmm....
    you know how you look back at things you wore that were "in" in the past and now you can't see how you ever wore that? Well...this will never be "in" so just say "NO"!

  9. What goes around comes around in fashion. (Sometimes the cycle is rather long.) I'm too lazy to look it up, but weren't those sorts of shoes popular in the Middle Ages?

  10. Heaven help us all if that fad spreads. I may have to hurt someone this time.

  11. It's like a bunch of leprechauns got fucked up on tequila!

  12. While a great general rule, there is always an exception.

    If there are little bells on the end of the shoes it's ok. Nothing sexier than a guido walking towards you going "jing jing jing" with every step...

  13. I'm afraid that this is a first for me and I am rendered completely speechless. So glad you posted this because I'd never believe it otherwise!

  14. Those boots were definitely made for wood nymphs and Santa's little helpers. Blech!

  15. Those shoes are positively heinous. I think other shoes are probably insulted that these shoes are even calling themselves shoes! Indeed.

  16. Those shoes are comedy gold. Have a look for a movie called 'Leningrad Cowboys go America' for similar shoe foolishness. It came out in the '80s sometime.

  17. Someone call Santa, looks like the elves have escaped his daily beatings.

  18. @kmcaffee: No doubt hubby will be impressed.

    @Barsola: Either ahead of the curve or he liked to hang out with the Keebler elves.

    @Middlechild: I think you are on to something there with your theory.

    @G: Expressing oneself is a good thing, following the pack of jacktards that wear ridiculous boots, not so much!

    @Mustang Sally: Agreed!

    @li: Yes, for court jesters.

    @VinnyC: And hurt them you could. Just take off their boots and use the toes as a weapon.

    @Danger Boy: And once drunk they decided to play a round of 'how can we really f*ck up our shoes?'

    @Lost.in.Idaho: Kind of like a cat bell but instead for fashion challenged jacktards.

    @Bouncin' Barb: Same here. I wouldn't have belived it without having seen those photos.

    @theTsaritsa: And jackasses that shouldn't be allowed to dress themselves without supervision.

    @Ms. Charity P: Heinous without a doubt!

    @Tony Van Helsing: And those poor fashion challenged blokes probably think they are incredibly manly and sexy. NOT!

    @Drake Sigar: Ha! Santa would be embarrassed to know they escaped wearing their S&M shoes. I think ole' Saint Nick hangs the elves up by those boots when beating them.

  19. @Mrs. Hyde: No explanation. They are just daft jackasses that shouldn't be allowed in public.
    Good luck with the studies. xo

  22. Well, at least they can lift their feet before stepping on the gum! I don't even know what to say to this?!?!? Can you imagine a gaucho asking for help to get in the saddle? Can you imagine... well, no, I'll just stop there... Where do you find this stuff?????

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Laynee: Shocking huh?

    @Becca: There were actually several guys in the photo all checking out 'something' and it looked kind of odd...

    @SharleneT: He'd probably skewer the horse in the process. All this crazy stuff somehow seems to find me.

    @Copyboy: ??? Please tell us all that you don't own some of these heinous things ; )

  24. They think it makes their penis look bigger? But with their feet looking "bigger" would the shoes make them look curlier?
