The Craziest Designer Shoes

It has been a while since I posted about shoes that are on the crazy side but are on the market for the small margin of customers who are giddy about extraordinary shoe designs. Those shoes do not come cheap, though, because most of them are designed and produced by established brands and they are launched on the runway. Take a look at some of the daring shoe designs so far.

Dolce & Gabbana "Carretto Siciliano" printed pumps, $4,995.
This Dolce & Gabbana pump is actually fun to look at. It reminds me of fiestas, carnivals and pizzas. The crazy thing about it is the heel in the shape of a woman who looks like a queen because of the embellished heel atop her head.

Gucci "Queer Core' embellished pumps, $2,390.
This lady debuted on the Resort 2017 runway. It also comes in black, light blue and white. What's crazy about this shoe is that it is a brogue with buckled toe, crystal embellished heel and the three straps that go up above the ankle. It actually looks like a 4-in-1 shoe--pumps, brogues, sandals and boots.

Balmain "Constance" suede pump, $1,585.

The only crazy thing about this Balmain pump is the exaggerated tongue that creates an illusion of a boots if you look at it in front. It also comes in all black suede. It's Balmain and I bet Kim Kardashian-West won't mind owning one.

Aquazzura "Voodoo" sandals, $1,950.
So, this Aquazzura sandals is tribal inspired. Tassels and beads are recurring embellishments on shoes in the past few years but when added with feathers to tickle your legs, that's something.


Tom Ford buckled strap sandals, $1,790.
Unstable heel? Check! Multiple buckles? Check! Crazy! But in all honesty, I would love to try this on.

Vetements + Manolo Blahnik satin boots, $4,225.
This is what Rihanna and Kim Kardashian-West wore a few days ago. Riri wore the bright orange version while Kim had it in black. The crazy feature of this boots is that it goes way up to the hips--the waist, almost, if you are petite. This design collaboration is from the Spring 2017 collection.

Chanel tweed sneaker boots, $895.
This shoe has an identity crisis. Period.

Sneakers have gone couture at Chanel Spring 2014 fashion show


If Coco Chanel still lives, do you think she will approve of sneakers going haute couture?


Karl Lagerfeld, for Chanel's Spring 2014 collection showcased too many iridescent and see through dresses with matching sparkly sneakers of black and bubblegum colors.


I still can't believe that Karl, who wouldn't be caught dead wearing sneakers would design one for a haute couture fashion show. 


This is such a huge leap of faith for a brand that is known for timeless sophistication that is Coco Chanel. What can you say?

Chanel striped pointy pumps


Here is another Chanel pump that I would like to try. This striped pointy toe pump is from the brand's Cruise 2014 collection. Dare to wear it with geometric printed pants like the model?

Chanel pumps with knotted heel

I could not remember the last time I featured a Chanel shoe so I guess this is the perfect time to show you one. I was browsing the brand's Cruise 2014 collection in PopSugar and there it was, in all it's white knotted glory.
