How can someone walk with these shoes?

 

[SusanSuperstar]

^well, you don´t have to walk in them, just scuba dive. It´s so terrible I can´t get over it!!!!!!

 

[pmegha]

I think these flipper heels are the type of shoes that if you were to see someone walking down the street in them, you would feel required to point and laugh at how ridiculous they are.

 

[SusanSuperstar]

I wonder how expensive they are????????

from thefashionpolice.net

Ever since we wrote about High Tide Heels last month we've been inundated with emails from people wanting to know where they can buy the things. But for a long time it was a complete mystery. No one seemed to know where High Tide Heels came from, or, indeed, whether they even existed. At last, though, I'm pleased to say that the mystery is solved. Writing on Manolo's Shoe Blog, designer Lisa Carney says:

"I am the designer of these high heeled flippers! I made them for my catwalk show for Mercedes Australian Fashion week 2002 at Bondi Iceberbs. This model opened the show and played the part of Ursula Andres walking (with not alot of grace) from sea. What a laugh!"
So, there you go. And if you want to know more, Lisa's own website would probably be the best place to look.

This is not ugly per se but I just found a bit disturbing and bizarre , it reminds me of the nintendo shoe with pokemon that was posted before in this thread It's called aphrodite shoes

GPS Alarm Shoes for Sex Workers

By Charlie Sorrel August 24, 2007 | 7:08:11 AM

Where would a good prostitute be without her (or his) signature platform shoes? In trouble, that's where. The Aphrodite projects has taken steps to protect street-walkers with Platforms. The shoes have a built in audible alarm to scare off attackers, and when the alarm is triggered, the prostitute's position is transmitted to either the police (in places where prostitution is legal) or to sex worker's rights groups.

The GPS unit uses APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) a system which uses amateur radio frequencies to send data, which, ironically, was first developed at the United States Naval Academy (all the nice girls love a sailor).


The shoes are a concept right now, albeit a working one, and can be tried out at the Gallery Aferro in Newark, New Jersey in September (15th, 22nd, and 29th). Mens and women's sizes will be available, and orders will be taken for custom builds.

poor aphrodite!!!!!!!

 

[kahlilg]

Dumb and dumber much. No srsly this must be a joke.

 

[mkd1187]

Why not a GPS tracking keychain, or a little pager?

 

[pmegha]

^well the simple answer is that those items you mention while most definitely more practical and discreet are not as fabulous as a pair of horrendously ugly platforms with computers in the soles. These platforms are definitely what should be called hooker-"chic".

the flippers: as i was scrolling down, i was all "well these aren't that bad..." then BAM! i saw the flipper part

 

[LolaSvelt]
