Those shoes, especially, are something else. The poor models.

Yes I was looking at all their corns and poor rubbed toes. In most cases those shoes just looked far too small, even apart from the structural issues!

I couldn't help but think, looking at some of those shoes, that is just poor design, which is shameful coming from such lofty design houses. I totally get and appreiciate the whole "shoe-as-art" concept, but would it take that much effort to slip a design prototype on a real human foot to see that, whoah, toes go *there*!

Those poor feet in those awful small shoes. It just hurts thinking about them.

I do not know how the models walked in those shoes.

I believe I read somewhere that runway models always wind up cramming their feet into too-small sized shoes for shows. I guess sample sized shoes aren't proportionate to (what I must assume be) larger feet on very tall women.
Everyone has a part of their job that is well and truly awful. Wearing some of that stuff, being photographed, and then mocked by the general public is right up there with the heinous printer at my office.

Fashion shows tend to horrify me, period. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

(Yes, I know some good stuff comes out of them too. But I'll just wait until it hits the stores...)

Ouch, their poor toes! Why in the world don't they make the sample size shoes in a size that most of the models can wear? Surely it doesn't drive the cost up *that* much...

Oh my - their poor feet. Do you think I'll ever be able to work "arms are so last season" into a conversation? No thought not, pity.

Those shoes . . . Just no.

Form follows function in all things except women's fashion. Put women's shoes at the top of that. How did that happen, and more importantly, why do women still tolerate it. Could you ever see a man in anything like it?

I get fashion as art, well, sort of. Most of my art I display, I don't have to work in it, or go out with friends in it, or to church in it.

No wonder models never smile on the runway.
