Not fit for humans

Carlo disappeared into the back room for a moment, then returned with an ordinary shoe box. He opened the lid and removed a hideous pair of black and white pumps. But these were not an ordinary pair of black and white pumps; both were left feet, one had a right angled turn with separate compartments that pointed the toes in impossible directions. The other shoe was six inches long and was curved inward like a rocking chair with a vise and razor blades to hold the foot in place.

Carlo spoke hesitantly, "... Now you see why... they're not fit for humans..."

No, they're not from Photoshop Disasters. They're just some very painful looking fashion ads for shoe designer Kurt Geiger, recently posted in The Essentialist:


What?

How?

Where...?

Why?
Enough said.

  1. Perhaps they are trying to underline the fact that the footwear is very uncomfortable to wear?
