Ick, ick, ick! And it’s not a bad-looking little shoe, either. One wonders if it was supposed to be named “Margot,” and someone misunderstood….

Maggot? I wonder if there’s a shoe called, “Larvae,” out there.

Perhaps it is pronounced: “ma-GOH”. You know, French-like and all.

Well, a brief review of the designer’s other shoes yields “Leach” (leech?), “Hork”, “Hack”, and “Bloody”, so, er, yeah.

The Maggot was (is?) a country dance popular in 18th century England.

Hmmm…well today I am wearing Steve Madden’s “Python” shoes (because the straps wrap arond the ankle, perhaps?). That’s downright normal-sounding for his label.

What does a Maggot love? Why…

Carrion of course.

Strangely enough, it’s an attractive shoe. And “on the sale”, no less…
