Yes, that is a high heeled hiking shoe you're looking at. With fur stuffed down between the laces. No, I don't understand why, either. The website says that these will be "the perfect heel for your winter escapades", but I'm not so sure, because if it's cold enough for fur-trimmed shoes, it's generally too cold for bare heels, but of course, this point is purely academic in my case because I'd wouldn't wear them on any of my "escapades", regardless of the weather.
If you would, you can buy them for $18.80 at Great Glam.

Camouflage seems to be making a comeback in designer circles, with Louis Vuitton bringing out the Monogramouflage design in June and Manolo Blahnik doing camo in calf hair (for real), but this Jean Paul Gaultier design ($725 from eluxury.com) is another story altogether.
What is apparently a "camo print" (yes, I'm doing those air quotes right now) is woven into canvas in a "subtle square pattern" with a peep-toe and chunky 4.75" leather-covered heel. I usually quite like a gladiator/buckle/cutout look, but the smooth grained calf leather straps don't really do much to save these shoes in my opinion. Am I alone in really not liking these shoes?

Now, I love dogs. I even <have a dog. So, in my world, dogs rock. Would I want to wear pictures of dogs on my feet, though? That would be an "Oh, hell to the no!" I wouldn't wear these shoes even if they didn't have the embroidered puppies on the toe and heel (I actually thought they were slippers when I first found them, but no, they're apparently meant to be worn in public), but with them, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The $180 price tag, however, suggests "cry" is probably the correct response...

Now, 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?

I'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.

No, 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.

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.
