happy feet

These somewhat freaky-looking Balenciaga shoes are inexplicably calling out to me -



I don't usually like clunky looking shoes. I kind of liked the platform pump that's been going on - I like anything with a forties' vibe - but I've hated most of the gigantic nonsense that designers have been putting out, like these Jil Sander ones -



But the studded Balenciagas are brilliant. All the hardware smacks of sci-fi and I find the idea of looking as though your foot has been shot with a dozen screws kind of sick and appealing.

I just hope no ones wears these with tights, as I have noticed disturbingly on some starlets. I hate sandals with worn with tights.
