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!!

This NYT Article

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/02/business/yourmoney/02shoes.html?ref=fashion about shoes is awesome. It is about custom shoes, and how now women can not only custom design sneakers, but now you can get custom made heels. This is FABULOUS. For a large, ($750-$1400) fee in articles feature website, you can have custom made heels and boots, in a about a month. But even those with a smaller budget can have their custom shoes as well. Steve Madden custom makes shoes and does it for a little less (about $150).
Now, I knew custom made shoes existed, because people like Paris Hilton can have designer shoes made for them when they have larger feet. But for someone like myself, who is 5'9" and has a larger size 10 shoe, this makes my life a little easier. Now all i need are custom made jeans and button downs and I can look like Charlize Theron! Just kidding.
