It occurs to me that that’s perhaps the footwear equivalent of the mullet haircut, of which it was famously said, “Business in the front, party in the back.”

Perfect, if probably itchy, for the current weather/climate. Does eliminate the presumed intended sexiness of the shoe, however.

Oh the shoe is really desirable. Yummy, in fact.

That is most definitely a sock however. Look at how thickly it’s knit.

Someone should be dragged off and shot, as Acidman was wont to say.

That combo looks tackorama. And I guess I don’t get the idea of a high-heeled sandal. I’ll have to check with one of my sisters, who works in the fashion world, but I bet she’d agree.

Now I’m half tempted to go into my flickr stream, grab the photo of the heaviest crunchiest socks that I’ve knit that I have on there, and caption it:

“I R SRS SOX. I DEMAND SRS SHOE.”

But yeah. I guess they’re trying to call up the spirit of the 80s with the stilettos and socks, but really, I think that’s too many of Madonna’s re-inventions in the past to be able to be resuscitated.
