World’s ugliest shoes? Quite a feet!

Lamar, I put you in charge of creating our label’s signature new shoe for spring. Our competition is the Holy Grail of of shoes, the stiletto in the top photo. The stuff dreams are made of. Sleek, sensual, five straps, platform soles, 14-inch heels. Lusty Cherry Red!
Let’s see what you’ve come up with to blow that bad boy out of the water!
Here it is, Boss, on the right. Feast your eyes on the finest persimmon-colored vinyl! Just a single strap, instead of all those extra ones.
Our heels are only a quarter-inch thick, so a gal can walk further in them and save on bus fare. They’re so versatile they can even be worn with socks. No need to waste money on beach vacations or tanning salons.
And the best part? Because of the low heels, they’re unisex. Men AND women can wear the same shoes! What do you think?
Let me get this straight, Lamar. Your special lady is getting ready for a fairytale night out, and she says, “Honey, please bring me my Persimmon Vinyl Socialist Librarian Shoes, if you’re not wearing them yourself tonight.” Is that it?
Exactly! See, you can use this shoe for ANYTHING!
Can I use it to beat you unconscious, Lamar?

Oh I love you, Mr.B!
Now, can I get a free pair of both of them please? You know, for publicity ofcourse…
Let me get this straight, Shra. You would wear those flat geeky ones?
The geeky shoes with black tights and a short red skirt and you could still walk in them!
14″ heels make a step ladder. Or a candidate for knee replacement surgery…
Candidate for knee replacement surgery? Is that what you think, Onedoor? My turn to throw out a great movie line:
“That’s a small price to pay for beauty…”
How about worlds ugliest nail polish? And wow how uncomfortable is that where your toes have to be curled underneath you foot like that?
Given how thick Lamars head is Mr. B. if you are actually able to beat him unconscious with that shoe you would not be able to deny the true versatility of it. If anything market it as an anti-mugging device.
Yup.. I would wear flats.. infact I wear flats everyday.. I walk a lot, and as One said, I dont want to be a candidate for surgery.. too expensive, cant afford it..
So, yeah, flats do me good…
One, I like that combination…
You can dress me anytime!
If there is anything not to my taste, it would have to be that nailpolish and those socks…
The heels in the first pic are for those who passionately desire a bad case of plantar fasciitis and, eventually, plantar fasciosis.
Considering you use the word passion and we’re talking about red stilettos, I’m going to go ahead and presume those things are STDs….. You’re probably right, Doc.
Time to take a stand, stop flip-flopping and put your best foot forward. The sole purpose is to no longer toe the line, but rather to kick up our heels at our arch enemies give them the boot.
Oh wait! Aren’t that second pair the shoes recommended for enjoying a round of Floppy Clown Shoe Minefield Parachuting?
If you take away the socks, the flats aren’t the ugliest shoes. Have you forgotten there is a shoe brand Ugg? It’s short for Ugly. Also, everyone knows that Crocs are the ugliest shoes in the world. Comfy yes, attractive no. The stilettos are hot, but they should’ve gotten a model w/nicer feet to really show them off. That can’t be good to have your toes squished like that. It’s like foot-binding light.
Damn, Spin! Beaten again at pop culture references. I should stop trying. However, good luck at explaining yours without serious electrical intervention.
No need to explain, Spin. Those of us who have read Catch-22 understand completely. Those of us who haven’t read it, well, it can’t be explained without a catch.
True, Doc. I think “Catch 22″ may be the most misused expression in the English language. I love it when TV newscasters just use it to mean a complication….
I first read Catch-22 when I was 18 and in the military. One of my sergeants, Bob G., told me it was must reading and loaned me his copy. He was so enamoured with the novel that he created a fake member of the 141st MP Company named PFC Rodney P. Wintergreen. PFC Wintergreen created fake SOPs, he received mail, etc.
Bob G., if you’re out there, you are so much responsible for me becoming the person I am today. You should be locked up!
Maybe she was going for the patriotic look with the red shoes, white skin, blue polish.
It is possible I may have worn dark blue polish with denim open toed shoes and denim skirt… Possibly.
@Doc: When your sergeant created a fake member of the company, you should have given him your work! Or created a fake sergeant to take orders from!
Spin, lets take thisn offline, shall we?
Mama, spoke like a true OSuer…
I love everything geeky… Geeky girls with geeky shoes are good girls
Dear Mr Blog Guy. Someone in your office needs a good tasing, as a serios news article has crept it’s way on to your blog.
Dear lord, way are in imminent danger of learning something! Quick break out the emergency mini medi-doughnuts, with extra strong sprinkles.
Welcome back, bro…. You slip in a day early?
Spoken like my Unca!!
It’s the 29th and right on time Unca returns! Welcome back buddy, I trust the zombie hordes you set out to vanquish didn’t give you too much trouble?
I know watcha mean Unca… those are really hideous I tell you…
Spin, I sooooo wanted gladiator sandals… but I controlled that urge and instead settled for Jimmy Choos… still saving!
Spin, nothing the military does is supposed to be ironic, it just turns out that way. As Unca says, the flip flops are for showering naked with a couple dozen other guys, some of whom have never showered before.
The army also took away my good prescription glasses at Basic Training and gave me a new pair that didn’t work at all which is how I shot two drill instructors, but that’s a story for another time….
