When bad things happen to good sneakers

May 24, 2007 | Retail gone wrong

Listen, you know that I take my shoes very seriously, and so it is with utter earnestness that I feel the need to tell you that these shoes right here actually make the Baby Jesus cry. (The fact that they come in three different colors has rendered me completely speechless. I am just pointing and gesticulating now.)

    But at 45% off, they have to be bought! Kidding. Seriously. Kidding a lot.

  2. 2 Robbi Says:

    My sister-in-law would sooo wear those shoes. Yes, she is scary.

  3. 3 Stephanie Says:

    Wow, the camo ones are particularly hideous. They’d make a great gag gift maybe. But only if you really disliked the person.

  4. 4 Erin Says:

    Ohhh…I have to admit, I know a few people who would wear those shoes. I am pleased to report that I am not one of them.

  5. 5 Melissa Says:

    I must have misread it the first time, because I thought you LIKED these shoes. I opened it and said “Ew” aloud and really wondered about your taste Mir! LOL

  6. 6 Andra Says:

    Those are scary, but Endless is an amazing shoe-etailer. They’re offering negative $5 OVERNIGHT shipping! I bought four pairs and they were here the very next day. Fantastic. :)

  7. 7 ChristieNY Says:

    Ew, those sure are fugly! ;)

  8. 8 Heidi Says:

    Oh, I get it. Baby Jesus is crying in a bad way, not in a good way.

  9. 9 hannita Says:

    Baby Jesus is crying. Wow. Just… Wow.

  10. 10 Susan Says:

    I just threw up a little.

  11. 11 Kait Says:

    I think my eyes just fell out of my head. How horrible. ::shudders::

  12. 12 Daniela Says:

    How could endless betray us like this? How could they permit themselves to be associated with such fuglocity!?

  13. 13 Rachel May Says:

    “I am just pointing and gesticulating now.” BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *wipes tear* Oh. My. I think I may have to use that one.

  14. 14 Rachel Says:

    I think those are Dorothy shoes on crack.

  15. 15 Daisy Says:

    Ew. I love shoes — but are these really shoes? They’re not sneakers. They’re not pumps. They’re — they’re scaring me, that’s what.

  16. 16 Crisanne Says:

    I, like Melissa, took a double take at first thinking you liked them. I gotta quit trying to read blogs while holding a baby and settling fights between the 2 and 5 year olds. Oh wait! Then I’d never read blogs!!

  17. 17 Rachel May Says:

    Daisy, we could call them “snumps”, but only because “peakers” sounds like some creepy guy looking in windows.

  18. 18 paige horst Says:

    Those are….the skankiest looking shoes I’ve ever seen.

    Nasty. And not in a good way.

  19. 19 MomCat Says:

    Trés ickimeaux.

  20. 20 KLO Says:

    I couldn’t resist. I emailed this to all my gals. Reading their rsponses and those here have been the highlight of the last 24 hours! I think I dropped a pound or two just from giggling!

  21. 21 ishouldbeworking Says:

    My eyes! Ya gotta wonder about the person that designed those. What were they smokin’? yuk…

  22. 22 Elizabeth S. Says:

    Those babies wouldn’t even tempt me if I found them at Goodwill for 50 cents!

  23. 23 Jill Says:

    Actually if you put these with a pair of cute “hippy” type jeans and a summer top, it would be very cute.

  24. 24 Molly Says:

    Good grief, who designed those shoes? A 14-year-old girl on meth? But, you better believe there are a lot of women out there that think these are fabulous! No accounting for taste.

  25. 25 Melissa Says:

    I’m one of those weird people who think that jeans and heels do NOT mix - kind of like wearing sneakers with a dress - kind of mixing up the purpose. Jeans are for comfort (supposedly) and work… Heels are for going out….hmmm… but in this case mabye the jeans would cover these fugly shoes.
