I do love Irregular Choice. They can be amazing but they also make some truly vile shoes. The ones you’ve shown aren’t even the most hideous I’ve seen from them.
Couldn’t they even photograph a better sample pair? These look like the different colored ‘skins’ (lol) aren’t even cut very well…the pinked edges look all wonky. The effect is almost like these whimsical little hooves are held together by spit and varnish…they’re going to fall to pieces the first time some poor victim is fool enough to wear them in the rain!
In defense of these shoes, they are not as bad in real life as they look in pictures… What’s more distressing is the fact that they’re over a year old and selling as new for $225 on Karmaloop
@ alicia:
bruce jenner pre or post makeover? and did he lose those earrings already?
bwaaahahahahaha! why oh why do i waste my time with that atrocious show?
How heavy are they? Is it possible to actually move feel in the walking mode?
I don’t know why I want to know this and I really couldn’t care less about them.
Vile, hideous, obnoxious, crappy etc.
You have a talent of finding the most repulsive shoes on the web, don’t you? Actually I wouldn’t confine it to just shoes. It seems to be dresses, coats, people…
Sister,
This is the first time i visit your blog EVER and I love it. I read a bunch of your Sea related posts and I almost peed my pants. You are just hilarious.
About these shoes: they came out in last year I think and I own them. Some people look confused when I wear them. Others ask me questions about them. Others just, well… laugh. I really like them on. And to answer some of the questions I’ve read so far:
– Yes, they are heavy.
– Yes, they are uncomfortable
– Yes, you may lose your balance and crack your ankle or even trip, fall and die
– Yes, your feet hurt like hell after you wore them for more than 4 hours
BUT: they make your legs look ridiculously long. That makes everything else completely lovely.
EWW
Irregular Choice makes the worst shoes EVER.

Too gnarly!
I think there might be fossils buried in that last layer.
Ugh! Says it all…
OH NO THEY DIDN’T!!!

One can only ask “why”?
Erm, I love ’em……if I was much, much younger, and rich, and never had to walk anywhere, I would own these!!!
I like the shape of the shoe. The choice of materials and fabrics is too much of juxtaposition for my taste

We’ve all seen worse…surely?
I love these in their usual, all black incarnation, but this version’s pretty vile.
You know I actually like the base of the shoe, but all the mismatching just doesn’t do it for me.
Like an explosion in an upholstery works.

Oh holy fuck! What IS THAT???? It’s like something Richard Attenborough made and then it ran wild and ate the tourists!
Srenna- Haha!
They don’t fit her right. If you are going ot charge two hundred bucks for a cheap shoe, you need to find a foot model that FITS it.

These shoes make me think of Bruce Jenner for some reason.
those kind of remind me of a fred flinstone gummy version of a shoe
i guess they remind a lot of people of a lot of things. I’m glad they exist.
Alicia: Bruce Jenner?
Patni- You’re right, now that I look at the pictures. They’re not even close to fitting, are they?

they’re known for their Frankenstein shoes; too bad these came to us a smidge too late for Halloween.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!

read feet for feel.
I’d rather wear these, you know, cement shoes…
Why are people wearing orthopaedic shoes when they clearly don’t need them?
Ummm…
My brain would like to murder my eyes for making it process these images. The horror!!!!!!!
totally rocking them with my pamela love ring and harley davidson underwear.

If they would have just alternated black and leopard, and left all the other patterns out, it would still have been “edgy” without being ridiculous.
Jesus Christ, they are disgusting.
Haha! I would actually wear these… the shape is awesome, almost like juts sticking your foot into a glob of blu-tack.

haha i actually posted about how awesome these are just a little while ago…heh heh 😀
Oh dear! These are hideous. Hope you’re good though xx
I HATE this style of shoe. I’m a huge fan of platform wedges when done right but these look like orthopedic nightmares.

You gained a new fan.
