The Perfect U G L Y Shoe



Dior 2015

I made sure to get high quality photos of all these beautiful boots so you could squeal in joy along with me! I love 'em. They're kinda ugly right? They hit a branch on the ugly tree or not even a branch but a small twig? If it's not the heavy gloss of the shoe, it's the frame of the heel? Maybe the bright colors? The tight ankle? It's like it's the perfect U G L Y shoe! The colors are prefect for spring when its 40 degrees out but its still cool enough for pretty flowers to sway in the wind. The black one of course caught my eye due to my instant attraction to darkness! It's groovy too and reminding you of the patent leather Go-Go boot in the 70's. The length is great. Too many times I have shied away from knee high boots due to wondering if it will one day fall in a puddle of suede around my ankles and sometimes I grimace at the short ankle bootie, wondering how it feels to have that inch of cold air hit where the boot starts and your skinny jeans end! But no more! Kudos to Dior for shaking up the boot world!!

Ugly Shoes for 2K15 (Flatforms edition)


Rick Owens SS2015

Honestly...!!!?? I don't know what to say but I want to say so much! I love them. I want them. Send them to me! I want to give a full review and prance around the city in these shoes with white paint on my feet. Rick Owens is honestly a favorite and I mean it. I love his silhouettes or lack of in his clothing and of course the lack of color. He does get haters from dweebs who criticized his choice of dancers and steppers instead of waif-like models last season to haters who just don't like him because he isn't Chanel (insert mega eyeroll). I dig this shoe. It imitates the Japanese Geta which normally has one or two spikes to walk on. These have more which is more appealing to people who simply can not balance on an elongated spike down the middle of their shoe. It laces up around the ankle like ballet slippers which means ugly to me because I abhor wrap around shoes. (Long story..) The ankle brace made out of leather is heavenly and especially the taupe leather/suede one reminds me of Ace bandages! (Remember the other Ugly Shoes for 2K15 flat sandal edition with the fantastic ankle bandage look??) Honestly, throw my body to Rick with a note begging for these shoes because I'm in lurrvvee!




Plain Jermaine


It's still winter so obviously wearing little to no colors is a minimalists wet dream! Plus they're shapeless and oversized. Even better for those frumpy, shapeless girls like me who hate cling and wanna hide that holiday chub or just like masculine clothing!
