Ugly Shoe of the Week: 'Nanny's Treasure' by Office

office-yellow-and-multi.jpgNow, I know some of you will probably like these shoes from Office, but for me, this is one "treasure" that Nanny can keep all to herself as far I'm concerned. I know bright colours are big right now, but this particular shade of yellow would have been enough on its own: there was no need to add red, turquoise and brown, and then to top it all off with some beads. If you disagree, you can buy these for £65 at Office - will you, though?

Ugly Shoe of the Week: Camper's Wabi shoes with removable socks

3832-312049-d.jpgI'm cheating a little with this week's Ugly Shoe of the Week, because these Camper shoes are actually designed for men, and we don't tend to feature men's shoes here at Shoewawa. Still, an ugly shoe is an ugly shoe, regardless of who it was designed for, and I think these certainly qualify on the "ugly" front. The Zappos website informs me that the sock lining is removable, which is a good thing, but hey, wait a minutes - shouldn't socks always be removable? They should be in my world. but if you or a lucky man of your acquaintance would like to slip into these, you can buy them in brown, green or white, for $111.60.

Ugly Shoe of the Week: SnUgg boots by Aussie Soles

SnUggs.jpgNo, your eyes do not deceive you: you are, in fact, looking at an Ugg boot with a Croc stuck to the bottom - or a SnUgg boot, to give it its proper name. Well, SnUgg it may well be, but I somehow don't think too many of our readers will be rushing to try and buy themselves a pair of these. If you disagree, of course, you can pick them up from Aussie Sole for $59.95 AUS and the "good" news is that they're also available in pink and black.

L.A.M.B Denver lace up wedge sneakers

lambplatformsneakers.jpg

I owned a pair of those platform trainers a la Spice Girls back in the day, and I'd put money on you having owned some too (or at the very least, knowing someone who did). Platform sneakers are dead to me now - and even the lovely Gwen Stefani cannot convince me otherwise. These L.A.M.B wedge sneakers are like something that would exist in one of my very weird nightmares, perhaps involving demented clowns? (Sorry Gwen, I still love ya!) But hey, if they're your bag, go nuts... They're $235 from shopbop.com.

Ugly Shoe of the Week: Maison Martin Margiela's tabi flats

ugly-shoe-of-the-week-mmm.jpgQuite apart from the fact that I firmly believe only the devil and certain four legged-animals should have cloven hooves (actually, make that any kind of hooves), let's look at these Maison Martin Margiela shoes rationally. Now, my first thought was, "Damn, but those look uncomfortable," but thinking about it, flip flops separate the toes too, and flip flops are some of the most comfortable shoes I own, so it is just possible that these may actually be more comfortable than they look. Unfortunately, though, that doesn't change the fact that they're ugly, does it? And, more importantly: they're ugly and they're $770, which makes them a fine contender for Ugly Shoe of the Week...

Ugly Shoe of the Week

crocs-high-heels.jpgThere's not a lot of love lost between Shoewawa and Crocs, but nevertheless, when I heard tell of a new, high heeled Croc, I had to go and investigate, in the hopes that it might actually be quite nice. But nope, it's the same old primary coloured plastic, I'm afraid, and although Crocs say that these will "spice up any fashionista's wardrobe," I regret to tell them that fashionistas have better things to spend their money on than plastic shoes. Am I wrong?

Would you wear a car shoe?

carshoes.jpgHow much do you love Opel's Agila mini car? If it's a lot, then for times when the traffic is bumper to bumper, then perhaps you could slip into the shoe version of the car. They're created by Luca Stappers and unveiled at Amsterdam's Shoebaloo shoe shop earlier this month. No word on how much they retail for, but since they're not much of a looker, I can't see there being much demand for them. Though if they happened to design a shoe that looked like your ideal car, what would it be?
