Someone please...

Explain these to me. I have seen now two pairs of them within a two week period and I do not understand them. At all. I get the concept, make it so your heel gets less impacted while you walk, but they look horribly uncomfortable. People that I have seen wearing them look ridiculously wobbly and not to mention HIDEOUS. These are almost as bad as Crocs. What happened to attractive shoes? Just because shoes are comfortable or good for your feet does not mean they have to look like something I threw up. Hello, Dansko? Simple? Not the ugliest shoes on the planet. Madness!!
