Yes, those are red soles. Yes, they are Christian Louboutins. Yes, they are making my feet hurt just looking at them.

These are fetish ballet shoes, as designed by Louboutin. You may recognize the style from the Beyonce video “Green Light”. This style of fetish shoe has been around for a while, but has gained popularity recently. These shoes are solely for fetish purposes, and as even Christian Louboutin will admit, you cannot walk in them comfortably. These rare Louboutins can be seen at the Pierre Passebon Gallery, in an exhibit called “Fetish” created by Louboutin and director David Lynch.

A similar type of shoe is apprently all the rage in Japan right now:

As uncomfortable as they look, I kinda want a pair. I could totally rock those sexy horseshoes. Could you? And would you even want to try?

Worn Through; Oh My Shoes
