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

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?

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

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!
