It gladdens my heart to see a retail space the size of Wal Mart that is solely devoted to shoes, stocking everything from Converse to Giuseppe Zanotti. The shoes are arranged according to style, so you don’t waste time trawling through row after row of wedges when you’re looking for platforms (though I would urge you to go for the wedges.)
After almost two hours of shoe browsing and richer by one pair, I decided it was time to turn my attention to shoe felons. Now while a beautiful pair of shoes can be a truly uplifting experience a heinous pair can give one just as much joy.
I present to you the worst of the worst (kindly modelled by yours truly)
I like to call these Kermit the Pimp. Don’t you think this is what the amphibian would make Miss. Piggy wear while walking the streets of Muppet Land? (Though it's highly possble these shoes were made with Kermit rather than for him.)
I have a feeling these shoes are very popular on a commune for arty crafty people too high on dope to notice how ugly these they are.
This pair I call Hooker with a heart of fake diamante studs. (And yes, I am in need of a pedicure.)
Miss. Simpson decided that tormenting us with her reality shows and sister wasn’t bad enough.
Biraather, I bought you a Rakhi but decided to stick it on my shoe instead.
Betsey Johnson, I know you’re crazy and that you like cartwheeling down the runway in pigtails, tutu skirts and pink leggings. But really, leopard print and flowers? My eyes! My eyes!
Even I have no words for these.
Just so the bags didn’t feel left out and to show I’m not prejudiced. (Might go with the crazy Betsey shoes.)

how come the shoe bought at nine west didnt feature here? ohhh, there are shoes that YOU think are horrid. I see!!! hehe!
ADI PAAVI. and to think i was going to write a nice long post about what a wonderful hostess you were. I will forgive you for I know your current living arrangements are trying
What??! you managed to come out of DSW without buying any shoes? You are losing your game, girl.
How come we don't get to see what made your collection 'richer by a pair' ?
Absolutely hilarious post!
Would you believe one of the secretaries at (my) work actually owns the leopard print with spring flowers? :P
anjali - 1 trip to the States = 5 new pairs of shoes.
Anon That's the next post. I suggest you buy the pink leopard print bag to go with the shoes.
It's nice to finally put fingers with the toes and metti. Somehow it leaves us thirsting for more.
Do they sell shoe closets as well?
J.A.P.
Commute? Hello, this is Texas!
ewww... what wonderfully vile shoes! :) Can we have still more pix, PWEEEEASE? Including the pair that you bought! :)
PS. when are you back in London?
did you even stop to think my sarcasm could be due to the fact that no such post has yet seen the twinkle of my eye?
my present living arrangements are providing me with paal payasam and wheat halwa at request.
Terri - :)
J.A.P - Alas no. But the Container Store (I'm still trying to get over the fact that there's something called the Container Store' has many shoe storage solutions. Also, I think for shoes like these a paper bag should suffice.
Veena - :P
Shyam - I think there's one more pair I haven't put up. Will be back in London Saturday morning.
Alpha - :) Like that-a? Ensoi.
Oh and Veena I am assuming you meant Commune :)
Love your blogs. They make me smile all day.Keep blogging
ROTFL Hilarious
I never thought I would hear the words 'all shopped out' come from your mouth, or sprained wrist. EVER.
WOW. so 200kgs of excess baggage and a whole new wardrobe, I'm guessing......or just your weight in shoes??? Cya soon Shoefie
though the trip to the US always features shoes for me as well (this time the 4 inched ones took the lead..) , I did not seem to like the collection at the DSW I had visited.
athellam seri, what are those ugly things on your toes? much like us, shoes get judged by the toes they let in.
eeeeeeeeeeks.
Leopard print and embroidered (eugh) flowers by the looks of it.
God. Now I've seen everything.
I'm in love with the glorious green shoes!
I hope you can visit Delhi sometime in the forseable future (before which Punju aunties' tastes don't change) and you will have the most delightfully bitchy experience shoe shopping through a sea of ghastly shoes!
Usha, Uma :)
30in2005 : A bit of both!
Chimera: Finding something at DSW is all down to luck and patience, I guess.
Nilu: You let toes in where?
MG: Exactly!
Punkster: :)
Bess - No! Really?
Shruthi - Sounds wunderful. I have heard much about Punju Aunties and their shoes.
The rakhi comparison rocks! Hehe! :-)
Wow.. Fantastic collection!! I really like those leopard skin stuff shoes. I also have a pair of snake skin stuff shoes.
