I was at the Shu Tokyo Lash party last week and although the lashes were interesting and the makeup imaginative and all, let me confess. I only had eyes for the shoes.
Or perhaps I should say footwear.
The models who took to the runway were wearing these really strange looking things on their feet and I could not help staring and wondering how they even managed to walk in them. You know, I have a healthy sort of admiration for models.
People may deride them and call them shallow but try walking a mile in their shoes… specifically these shoes…
or perhaps these shoes?
Or maybe even these strange backward facing shoes…
… and then see what you will say 🙂
Me? I have nothing but respect for models who can strut the runway in 5 inch heels, in shoes too big for them, in shoes that look like THESE… and not fall flat on their faces.
Dare you take the step to walk a mile in their shoes? 🙂

July 10, 2011 at 11:50 amI am a shortie, so this shoes will probably boast up my height. Ha ha…but nah…i am into Crocs and flat heel shoes nowadays. Cos I walked fast…..feel unsafe walking down the Malaysia street……
ParisB says
July 11, 2011 at 11:12 amOh yes. On the street I’m all about flats too. Its also a lot more comfortable 🙂
yuki says
July 10, 2011 at 11:52 amIt’s crazy! Their legs must have been aching after that!
ParisB says
July 11, 2011 at 11:13 amIt might actually not be as uncomfortable as it looks – who knows eh? I think stilettoes are worse
gio says
July 10, 2011 at 2:13 pmThose shoes are crazy! Must be so difficult and painful to walk in them!
ParisB says
July 11, 2011 at 11:14 amBut they did! Down the catwalk and back again. I was amazed

ParisB says
July 11, 2011 at 11:19 amI think I’d fall off at the first opportunity!

ParisB says

Nadia says
July 11, 2011 at 5:47 pmVictoria Beckham wore similar shoes, and I personally have so much respect for the likes of them who can strut in those impossible killer shoes! Personally, I don’t think I could. No, make that I know I can’t. hehe…it’s a fun idea, certainly, but I’d definitely fall flat on my face! haha 😛
ParisB says
July 11, 2011 at 6:12 pmYou’re right! Actually I think Victoria Beckham gets more respect from me because she probably wore them to an event which would have lasted hours while models just have a few hours to stand in those 😀
plue says
July 11, 2011 at 7:05 pmwearing normal heels already give me problems, so no way, these shoes will never appear on my feet!
Amanda says
July 11, 2011 at 9:28 pmI love high heels – 3 1/2inch is the max I can do. These ones? No, thank you 😀
