The Virtual Shoe Museum

This post isn't going to be about a particular pair of shoes, but a whole website dedicated to interesting shoes. The first thing I thought when I saw it was, "This website was made just for people like me, wasn't it?". The second though was, "Uh oh, which pair am I going to feature".

So, I thought I might as well just feature my favorite ones and let you visit the site yourselves. These are separated by category.

Miss L. Fire - Cindy Boots

I'm not sure even I would have the guts or appropriate clothing to rock these, but I still think they are pretty interesting nonetheless.

They don't offer them for sale on their website, but they do have a list of stockists where you may find them if you are lucky enough to live next to one.

Pucci - Rain Boots

I'm not really a big fan of Pucci or rain boots either for that matter, but when I saw these, I just about died of a heart attack. How is it possible they made clunky rain boots into a beautiful work of art? They are so unique and lovely... I could just go on forever.

If you live in a rainy place and like they as much as I do, they may well be worth the investment of $153.95 over at Zappos Couture.

Chanel - Jewel-Heeled Jean Boots

I just came across these in the December issue of Vogue Spain. Words really fail to describe just how ugly these boots are. I mean, who would wear boots that look like they are made out of old cheap jeans? And the jeweled heels up the ick factor considerably. I was surprised to see that they come from Chanel's fall/winter 2006 couture collection.

I have to admit they do look better on than off, as they are in the first picture in Vogue, however, they really just look like you are wearing jeans, so what's the point?

I couldn't find a place where they are selling them online, so you would need to call Chanel or stop by one of their stores for the price. I'm sure they will be plenty pricey.

Andrew Stevens - Jenny

Finally, shoes for the feminine construction worker in you!

I've been trying to figure out in exactly what kind of situation you might wear these in. They look like they may make a more attractive alternative to snow boots, but that doesn't really make sense with the 4.25" heals, does it?

The good news is that they only cost $49.97 at Gotham City Online if you are willing to experiment with them.
