Love carnivals? Now you can wear one!
I’m Not a Big Shoes Guy
In fact, I own like five pair. But when I stumbled across these shoes (that’s a pun…sort of), I was genuinely agog. I had no idea there were so many bizarre forms of footwear in existence — now and throughout history! Are these the craziest shoes ever made? Maybe. Judge for yourself, and have fun. Which, in most cases, means not wearing shoes like these.

Those red toe heel…things…broken neck immediately. Cringe!
No kidding, Ionia!
Oh my goodness 🫣 It’s not often I’m left speechless. These are serious shoes 😂
LOL, Mitch! How DO you find such jewels?? Fashion designers are the original SciFi-ers.🤦
Looks like a good way to end up in traction.
This is a fun little post. For many years, I wore a Vibrams running. I kind of miss them.
The five-fingered type, Mark?
Absolutely incredible artistry! No one with a lick of sense would wear any of these 😂
I knew this was going to be hilarious! Love those weird Asian-looking ones where you have to squeeze your toes together just to hold them to your feet!
By their shoes ye shall know them. (I’m listening to the Bible on Audible, and now I talk like this!)
;>)
Amazing shoes though I can’t help but wonder what they do to the back of the wearer. Flat shoes for me always!
Me too, Liz. With thickly-cushioned insoles.
Some look cool, some look cruel, remember the seventies platforms rule! ;0)
Mich, a sense of humor is needed when viewing these shoes and imagining wearing them. love the shoe quotes1
Oh my gosh! No way.
In a word, yes.
You forgot to include the casts these people will end up with. 🙄
(Remember the sitcom where the secretary showed up for work in a cast? The men kept asking if she had broken her leg skiing, and she kept saying, “No, I fell off my shoes.” Finally another woman comes in, takes one look at the cast and says sympathetically, “Aw, did you fall off your shoes?”
I don’t recall the show, Annie, but that is a funny bit!
My feet hurt, just looking at these!!
Fun post! I didn’t see anything I’d walk a mile in!
Shoe humor! Love this, C
Strange looking shoes 😃
I want the ones in the top pic!!
Whenever there are chase scenes on televised shows, it’s amazing how fast women in spiked heels can run. Kudos to the actors. Love Anne Fortier’s quote because it’s funny-and probably true! 🙂
;>)
Not to mentioned the tightly corseted ones in fifty pounds of clothing who can go flat out across the meadow 🙄
I’m going to return to this post for years to come. Love it!
You seriously need help
But we’ve known this about Mitch, and we love him anyway… (Probably it is we who need the help) 😂
🧡
Ordering the scrub brush shoes. Gonna be stylish when I clean the shower.
;>)
I was wondering as I started down you pics if you would have red Chinese foot-binding shoes such as my wife’s grandmother wore. Crippled by such shoes, it was a mark of wealth because their servants would have to always transport them.😉
Definitely not one of the sanest or healthiest cultural traditions in history.
Well I was gonna say something about the character with the fish tank shoes in the old spoof of Blaxploitation flicks “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka!”, but lo! There they were in the post already lol
Hah! I never saw that film!
It’s actually pretty funny ― it’s an extremely early entry in the oeuvre of the Wayans brothers! Of course I haven’t seen it in nigh on 40 years and I’m guessing it may be a bit dated at this point …
Sorry but those “Hug Me Elvis” pumps are a must!
;>)
It would be quite a “feet” to wear some of these!
Big groan. ;>)
“To understand a man, you’ve got to walk a mile in his shoes.” ~Old Proverb ….. I think some people with difficult lives must be wearing some of the uncomfortable shoes in your pictures!
;>)
Have you seen these ones? Except these aren’t novelty clown shoes. These are genuine couture ones! https://www.ysl.com/en-gb/pr/opyum-sandals-in-patent-leather-813124004.html?utm_source=google&utm_source_platform=SA360&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GB%7CEN%7CPMX%7CAll%7CMulti%7CU%7CBestseller&utm_id=21549814762&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21549817339&gbraid=0AAAAADZptojFaNCnQ1zP2Z1Q9NqXO__pp&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkqHZ0a2IlAMV-5NQBh1saBtNEAQYAiABEgL0mvD_BwE
I’ve never understand how Yves Saint Laurent gets people to spend a fortune just to wear their initials!
Out of all those shoes shown, I’d definitely wear those snake boots.
Is it weird that I love the teeth shoes 🤣
No, but possibly Freudian. ;>)
My word for those starts with U as in UGLY!
I’ve heard that being in traction is no fun or in a toe to thigh cast. I live in Crocs and flat shoes so my feet can do what they’re meant to do: keep me standing and walking. I hope you’re having a good weekend.
Likewise, Rasma.
Okay, Mitch, I’m going ask the question. Why? Like really, why?
;>)
“To understand a man, you’ve got to walk a mile in his shoes.” ~Old Proverb I’m afraid that if anyone wears these shoes I will never understand them because I could never walk an inch in them let alone a mile! 🙂 Just trying to stand up would probably put me on my face, or the other end, in an instant. Thanks for posting, Mitch.
;>)
Definitely need to purchase some insurance before walking around in those!
;>)
Fashion is not what I thought. I’d be scared to know the price tag on any of these.
;>)
The flip flops look comfortable. I don’t know about the rest of the shoes.
This is taking art beyond its level 😆. I love shoes but not these. Showing these to my daughter
Hey man can I get your number

Wow! Super images Mitch!
Crazy!
Thanks Mitch…love the alligator trainers.
;>)
I have never seen anything like it! What an interesting post. Some of them were so bizarre, like Barbie heads or fish tank inside.
definitely some ankle breakers and a few other bones in that collection!
Oh, yeah!
