Living in Austin Texas, one becomes accustom to seeing the strange and insanely bizarre on a daily basis. From Eeyore annual birthday party to the infamous thong guy, to Leslie the famous hobo, one would think nothing surprised us Austinites anymore, However, that assumption would be wrong. People all over the world have been doing so pretty crazy things all throughout history, looking at this photo essay, i was amazed at the crazy shoes people have worn, and are still wearing. Yet, the real question is whether these fashion statements have any practicality whatsoever to them. The first shoe from that list that comes to mind when thinking about practicality (or lack of it) was the heel less shoe. Like it says in the photo essay, these were reported to be comfortable by the models who wore them, but could cause injuries if worn for long periods of time. Other than practicality, in my opinion, some of these shoes are downright ugly and/or freaky, yet SUPER fun and funny to look at.
While all of these shoes are over the top, my favorite crazy shoes are the clear platform shoes with live fish inside them

O-O I didn't know that they had aquarium shoes. I thought that this article was very good, except the font, maybe try san serifs because it matches your magazine theme. I like how the fishes match the color theme, but two of them I believe are gray, maybe you should change the color?
ReplyDeleteI never knew there were so many crazy shoes out there! This was really cool to get to see different shoes from all around the world that are so different. I would defintely read this story!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes :)!I have never heard of this before and you wowed me! You chose something that would be so abstract that it drew the reader in so much so they would read the story.
ReplyDeleteThat's so weird, it's cool. How did you even find that stuff?? But good job on relating it to Austin. You should do more crazy interesting stuff like this (:
