First: I’ve never been so confused in my life, y’all.
Second: Let me be clear. I grew up outside of Atlanta and attended the University of Georgia, so this is not my first time at the theme-boot rodeo, so to speak. I’ve seen boots with my school’s logo on them before, and my thought has always been the same. Namely, that anyone buying a pair of those monstrosities isn’t doing much to battle southern stereotypes. Read More…
I’d ask you if you remember the bizarre fur pumps and Birkenstock-like sandals from Celine Spring 2013, but how could you forget? The shoes set the fashion Instagram world ablaze from the moment they debuted on the runway and spawned countless blog posts, Twitter conversations and even a few serious articles about what they mean for fashion. Personally, I’m doubtful that they mean anything more significant than that Phoebe Philo is taking a page out of Margiela’s book, but they’re worth a closer look anyway. Read More…
When you combine a competition for footwear designers with one of Asia’s biggest fashion weeks, the entrants are bound to be cutting-edge and more than a little crazy. But that’s ok – that’s just how I like it. If it’s going to be a real design contest, you can’t just have everyone submitting black pumps, can you?
These photos from Glamour.com showcase some of the best entrants to the 12th annual Footwear Design Competition at Hong Kong Fashion Week, which is a show I’d certainly like to see. Read More…

The man behind the heelless shoes that Lady Gaga made famous, Noritake Tatehana, has had a pretty good year as far as things go for avant garde shoe designers.

This clip from upcoming footwear documentary God Save My Shoes started floating around the Internet yesterday, and we just couldn’t help but post it. How often, outside of an episode of Sex and the City here and there, do you get to see the inside of the Vogue shoe closet? Never, that’s how often. This clip is a quick run-through, but the documentary itself promises interviews with a slew of world-famous shoe designers and tons of eye (foot?) candy. Read More…

Paging through Tommy Ton’s coverage of fashion show street style for Style.com is always fun, but when it comes time for Paris Couture Week, things always take a turn for the bold and slightly insane. And that’s the only way to describe the Natacha Marro Heelless Platforms in which Ton captured fashion icon Daphne Guinness trotting (or perhaps “tottering” would be a more apt term) around after a show.

When looking at a pair of shoes, do you ever wish that the shoes could gaze back at you? No, because that’s crazy talk, right? Well, the Christian Louboutin Deja Vu Slingbacks might be able to. Ponder that for a moment, and then meet me after the jump. Read More…

I can’t really explain all of this, except to say that Coco is a brand new reality TV star, Internet model of the decidedly more risque variety (famous for her giant derriere) and wife of rapper Ice-T. She’s a big fan of stilettos, the higher the better, and she once tweeted some photos of her shoe closet that we got a mighty big kick out of. Read More…
