Not 20 percent off, either
I somehow fail to grasp what Vivienne Westwood is trying to do here:
For the straps, it’s simple: if one strap is good, two must be better, and so forth. (Among shoes displayed in these pages, the record is seventeen.)
But what’s with those, um, bumps up front? They seem to trouble ShoeperWoman:
The, um, “toe ridges”, if that’s the right expression, are a big feature of the [Autumn/Winter] 09 collection, and, well, “hate” is a very strong word, so let’s just say they make all of the shoes look like they were two sizes too small for their owner, who nevertheless decided to wear them anyway, to the point where the leather started to mold to their toes.
Worse than that: there’s only space for four toes.
Like I said, I have no idea what Vivienne Westwood is doing here, but if Homer Simpson ever decides to crossdress, these are his red pumps, provided of course he can come up with £330.

Augh. Those toe bumps ruin what would otherwise be a fairly nice shoe.
Also, I’m sure it makes fitting them harder. If your toes aren’t exactly like the toes upon which the shoes were modeled, you’re going to get blisters.
The pirate boots on the same page: I doubt any self-respecting pirate would wear those.

Pirates can be very fickle about their shoes/boots/clothes.
But they’re all different and it depends on the pirate.
I’m sure there is some pirate somewhere that would
really like the red pumps. Sort of brings Cyril Ritchard
to mind.

The shoes are hideous.

I didn’t even notice the toe bumps— because that’s how almost all my shoes look… it’s not easy being a size 11.

Doesn’t seem to bother Paris Hilton. Then again, she has a bigger shoe budget than most people.
