The Back of the Ugly Cavalli Shoes

Manolo says, this is the sort of atrocity that makes the Manolo waver between anger and despair, while the price leaves him gasping.

P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo’s shoe-obsessed friend Wayne.

    Yuck. They look like something you’d find at Pay-Less.

    I’m not quite sure where to start… Mad Max meets the old west? Tranny hookers at a motorcycle rodeo? Yikes!

    And I bet they weigh 4 lbs apiece too.

    Grills for shoes, now, huh? Nice.

    Do they justify the price by claiming them as “vintage” 70s?

    Livia, crap has no vintage :) And I think it’s not insignificant the ‘model’ on the page where those shoes are displayed is a mannequin.

    Does that nut-spur-looking thing on the back of the heel spin around?

    I don’t speak Spanish, but I tried. Sorry if it was incorrect!

    Well, at least those heels could be used to cage small animals if nothing else.

    My gosh, they are really ugly. What happened to sexy???

    Oh, no no no. Ugly shoes and the price is insulting.

    Dearest Manolo, I am interested to find out your position on the exhorbitant prices being charged by retailers for designer shoes. I recently received an email from Saks that featured a flat thong sandal that was . . gulp . . .$695. We are talking three strips of leather and a sole here. The shoes were beautiful and appeared to be well made but the I did not feel that the price was warranted. What gives?

    I immediately though “horse hooves”. Now, why do you suppose that happened?

    Straight out from the wild wild west, but I doubt even the lady gunslingers would dare be caught wearing these!

    Unless you’re some punk rock star, everyone should be avoiding these.

    With a price like that, the little gear on the back had better spin!
