As Shoeperwoman observes, there's been a disturbing spate of 'footwear with faces' recently but in the case of these rather upsetting 'toe' shoes by Comme des Garcons, the designer has at least got a basic grasp of anatomy.
My problem with these shoes and indeed any that emphasise the toes is that toes really aren't a part of the body I particularly want to celebrate. Vivienne Westwood just about gets away with it in her kooky animal-toe bondage boots, but the toes here don't look particularly healthy, and get in the way of what would otherwise be a highly wearable style. Well, chacun sa route...

^ is this some kind of joke? ^
closed toed shoes can have toe cleavage. not...toes.
Why not celebrate toes? It seems a very thankless job, being a toe... you wouldn't be able to walk without them!
looks quite weird.. These don't suit my personality.
I like the overall design of the shoe. I think they would be better if there were not feet painted on the shoe. To me this just does not look right. It is definitely a different idea. It could sell or not. I guess it all depends on if people want to give this new look a try.
To be honest. I would not wear these shoes. I might were them for fun. A day i would were them would be when i am dressing up or going to through a party. They could be good part shoes because the design could go with some nice part outfits.
Oh these shoes are really cute. I think my daughter would like these. Looks like great dress shoes to me. I dont know any men that would were them but i know a few women that would.
These are some of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. Good on ya for trying, but these seem like they should be in some kind of circus act.
thanks very much for your post.

hahaha...very funny shoes..

It is as you know my heart! You seem well aware of this, as you write the book or what happened. I think you can do some pictures to drive the message home a bit, but otherwise, this is a great blog. A great read. I will definitely come back.
