Freak-Shoe Friday: Downward Slope for Walter Steiger

Walter Steiger for Akris, Ishi Wedge Spring Summer 2011

This wedge has been puzzling me since I first saw it a few months ago. Great innovative futuristic design & materials, but only one wee problem: how the heck are you supposed to walk in these unless you've got an inverted arch?

Conclusion: for ballerinas only. You know, if they're keen on swapping their points for 'em!

That is all.

These are so bizarre - someone would wear them and look cool as hell but they are so strange!
