I'm switching things up again with this week's Wicked Wednesday installment. As I was surfing the internet looking for a pair of plus size bubble or tap shorts I stumbled upon a fascinating pair of shoes on torrid.com.
These wolf themed platform pumps by Iron Fist literally jumped out of the screen at me. The shoe features the image of a wolf with bloody fangs on the front peep toe and it's body is detailed throughout the body of the shoe, a dainty satin bow and red sole complete the shoe. They are appropriately called the "Wolfbeater" and are a part of a very varied and interesting range of bags and shoes by Ironfist.
So here comes the switcheroo, instead of talking up the shoe porn aspects of this shoe and relating them to a type of person as I usually do I'm posing the question "What do you think of this shoe?" Is is kitschy, innovative, avant-garde, scary or just plain ugly. I'm not really sure if I like this shoe, but I don't hate it and can of see how it works. It's falling in between kitschy and kind of ugly for me.
PS:I loved the responses I received to the shoe porn challenge and will be posting about it next week!!
wow um...these shoes are odd. I agree with you they are a little interesting on a ggod way but a litte ugly, i dunno lol
ReplyDeleteI love the silhouette of the shoe and the red heel and platform against the black. I guess the only thing I really dislike are the teeth. I kind of love the eye and the fur painted on there. Don't know if I'd ever actually wear it....
