WOW

 

The past decades are known with the attempted of designers always to create something extraordinary. This trend can be observed in the shoe making industry as well. Many designers are competing for the first place in the contest of the weirdest shoes ever seen. And some of them have really crossed the line. 

Here are my top 5 of the most weird/strange looking shoes ever created.

#5 Insect enlocked shoes

These shoes are characterized by an insect or other animal locked inside the platform of the shoes.

#4 Fish shoes

I am devoting number 4 in the list to these strange looking Fish shoes. They are characterized by a platform made of fishes. The only wonder here is if the fish is real.

#3 Toe – less shoes

Number 3 are the toe-less shoes. These shoes are basically characterized by not having a front part. Do you think they are convenient?

#2 Leggings shoes

These shoes are basically trousers as well. 

#1 Wire shoes

The winners of this list are the Wire shoes. These shoes are created only by wires and nothing else.  Here the motto “fashion before comfort” is on its place.

Browsing around my previous posts, I realized I was writing only about flats. For that simple reason I will commit this post to 10 interesting facts I know about high heels. I hope you will enjoy it ;)

#10 High heels were first worn by men and were considered as a status symbol among the European aristocracy in the 1600′s

#9 On average, women start wearing high heels at the age of 12 and continue to wear them until the age of 63

#8 The world’s largest high heel collection belongs to the heel-aholic Beth Shak. Beth claims to have the world’s largest high heel collection, with a toe-tingling 1,200 pairs spread across four separate shoe closets in her house.

#5 Jimmy Choos have been refered in songs by Hilary Duff, Shyne,Pitbull, Clipse, Sway, 50 Cent, and Chester French

#3 155 -  The Guinness World Record for most people running in high heels

#2 Women who wear high heels frequently have a higher incidence of degenerative joint disease of the knees. This is because they cause a decrease in the normal rotation of the foot, which puts more rotation stress on the knee

#1 High heels change the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, which accentuates the appearance of calves.

4 Shoe types every guy should have.

 

Because I consider it unfair to write only women’s shoes I decided my second post to give some more insights on what our sweethearts should have in their shoe closet.

Here are the 4 must-haves types of shoes every man should own:

#4: Boots

For the cold winter days, as well as for spring/atom weekends, boots can be a perfect match for a men’s casual look. They can be paired with jeans and a shirt, however not with suits. Boots are suitable for every weekend occasion and what is more they are always keeping your feet warm.

 

#3: Casual office shoes:

These shoes are perfect for every working day. More formal than sneakers and not formal enough to look overdressed, office shoes are ideal match to wear with a shirt and contribute to the professional office look. Each man should has two pair of these: one black and one brown. The two different colors bring diversity in man’s closet. The two pairs can be different styles which will add even more variety in man’s wardrobe.

#2: Dress shoes

Although one will not need them for everyday office look, they are perfect match for important business meetings, or for official dinner, along with an official suit.

#1: Sneakers:

Comfortable and relaxed, sneakers are perfect for casual look. The most convenient shoes for a walk in the city park or for going to the store, these shoes are the must-haves for every man. 

Hope you enjoyed the post

Mule shoes- from the garden to the catwalk

Добавhttp://www.oocities.org/trishakendrick/mules/mulecol.htmlете надпис

The mule shoes were invented in 18^th century for indoor wearing and were mostly associated with prostitutes. The peak of their popularity was in 20^th century when the actress Merilyn Monroe decided to break their bad fame. These shoes were a trend in the 50s, 60s and after that in the 90s; however during 21^st century women wore them primarily when doing some gardening.

Now in 2014 the old-trend shoes are rising again. However they are with completely renewed interface. The Mule shoes are a great hit among designers and are turning into the must-have shoes for the summer of 2014. With their architectural shapes and youthful look, these shoes are targeted at the younger population of shoe-lovers. So if you are under 30 and still do not have them in your summer shoe collection, hurry up to the nearest store and make sure to buy one pair.
