Sole less shoes

So the other day I was browsing the internet, when i came upon the most magical shoes i had ever seen. theyre called sole-less shoes. some pairs simply are missing the middle of the shoe while others wrap around your foot and leg.

Here are two pairs from london fasion week. if you ask me it looks pretty uncomfterble. while i appreciate the art of shoes, i'm still deciding if it looks like a) a pricless piece of work, or b) a collection of building blocks that toddlers glued together. I didn't have any luck finding a price for these bad boys so im assuming they cost some major moolah.

next, if you will direct your attention to the right, youll find..... im honestly not sure these count as shoes. wearing shoes this complicated must come with an instruction manual. step one. buy two metal rods. step two. insert into foot. I cant even imagine how uncomfertable that must be.

  here's another pair. I actually found them to be quite cute. the colors are lovely, and the shape of the heel is exquisite. i think out of the shoes I've shown you guys, these would be my favorite. also, because they have a bottom, they are way more practical and durable then the others. also, they seem like my go-to heels. you could wear them with a pair of flairs or a nice skirt to work, and it would also look great with a hot little cocktail dress.

now,here are the oddest, and probably my favorite. they were made by London architect, Julian Hakes.theyre called mojitos. Hakes came up with the design for the shoe when he was sitting in his studio, and realised that when you walk, almost all the pressure is on the sole and ball of your feet, but not in the middle. the shoe consists of an ultra-durable layre of rubber thats lined with leather. want them? yeah i did too. Hakes sid he might be creating a few more pairs, but they wont be mass produced.



My conclusion: while soleless shoes may look great on the cat walk, i just dont see this  turning into something everyone knows. Also, apparently they are really bad for your feet. you know how people allways are ranting on converse for there horrible arch support? just imagine how bad these are for your feet.
