Shoe Tuesday across the globe
And now for some words from our readers:
From Daegu Owl himself, Paul.
I was intrigued enough by these little beauties to track down their original provenance. Turns out there’s a woman in Belgium that makes them, although her website doesn’t seem to sell em. A recession-busting gap in the market for glamorous snorkelling ladies awaits.
Helen “Missbels” sent in these clownish crackers from Cordoba, Argentina. I’m fascinated by what it might say on the price card but the closeup, CSI-Miami style photo enhancement below reveals very little.
And finally from the world’s largest natural deposit of odd shoes: Japan
The boots say “Sakamoto” in Japanese. Which I guess is either a surname (like Ryuchi Sakamoto) or a bizarre fetishistic love of pink fur.

You can thank “eVil” AKA Neil Propermag for that one.

oh WTF is all i could say.
My eyes, my eyes!! I was imagining a 20 year old, tall skinny asian FEMALE model on the other end of those boots. Excuse me while I go to the bathroom to rinse out my poor eyes!
Man that was a shock and a half. Only in Japan! Those fiippers are something else.
Did anyone used to watch Shoe People? I’m sure that show from Argentina has escaped from the show into real life!
I meant ’shoe from Argentina’ not ’show’.

I likes them swimming high heels, do they do them for gents too? I’d like them in a croc style though
Not content with the ears, boots and thong, he puts his hand up the backside of a balloon poodle. Sheer class.
@#$@#@%$#@#… This has to be the most shocking shoe Tuesday of all time!!!
First the shoes then the fur…then the person in the fur….
Oh the travesty…

What’s wrong with Sakamoto? I for one like the balloons.
I would have given those high heel fins to the ladies at the beach wedding in Sanya last weekend. Stilettos on a sandy beach is so wrong.
This has gotta be the best shoe Tuesday I have seen for a long time!
*speechless*
*speechless by the sheer class and style*
good grief.
Dude, that’s a guy LOL!
I’m totally getting a photo of myself in those flipper heals, wearing a snorkel, riding the Bangkok skytrain
Finally…see look at all the plaudits you get from my (and others) work…
