Tis the Season of Ugly Shoes

I don't know what happening lately, but this season seems overrun by horribly ugly shoes! In my oppinion, the worst offender is Balenciaga. Their shoes look like a crazy accident in a bad 90's fashion factory. My point exactly in this winner here:

It looks like a high heeled rollerblade mixed with some old school Reeboks, in case you couldn't decide between the two.

Thinking that maybe it was a one-time fluke? Oh no, my friend. Check out this monstrosity of a boot:

It's like the designers couldn't decide between a slingback, a pump, or a boot, so they said, "Shit! Mix 'em up!" and came out on the other side with this unfortunate creation.

Balenciaga isn't the only one making unfortunate shoe decisions this season. It seems like the new trend is to have a boot that looks like a regular shoe with a sock under it. This wouldn't be a good look if anyone decided to wear socks with shoes like that, so why would they make them permanently attached together!
Here's one from Stella McCartney:

And another, even worse one by Marc Jacobs:


So I leave you with one final fug shoe by Christian Lacroix, and here's hoping you have some better looking shoes next season, designers.
