Nina Ricci AW14
Ugly! Hideous! Disgusting! Gross! How would you describe these shoes? Why would you describe them in that way? I think they're divine. I mean I would wear them of course. I have always been sort of an ugly shoe connoisseur. I've treasured wearing leopard print booties amongst a sea of adidas shell tops while in high school. I rocked hunter green elf shoes for junior year. I distinctly remember a pair of T.U.K 2-inch platform creepers in white/black that I wore for a year straight. I have nothing against ugly shoes. Not everyone can wear them though. 
Now truth be told, some of these shoes aren't ugly. Just a bit weird. Not many people can wear furry/velveteen shoes. None the less heels. I'll admit the Nina Ricci's are gorgeous in that deep grey. The fur poking out is a beautiful, plush touch to the delicate looking shoe. House of Holland definitely thought of glamour when they paired those furry low heels with gorgeous colorful outfits. The furball on top is a playful touch. It reminds me of a bunnies tail!
The Miu Miu's though need a separate section. Now I have worn a lot of hideous shoes in my lifetime, but those seem to take the cake. And I mean they took it and ran halfway around the globe with it. Those shoes are ugly. I sat around my room for a good while, thinking of how to pair them and if I could wear socks with them. I can't think of what kind of outfit to wear them with which to me is a red flag. My feet aren't cute enough to be let loose in that plastic-y stuff. In fact, my feet would probably melt. It looks a bit warm in it. Like being in a raincoat naked in the middle of a brazilian jungle.The heels look like screws and aren't even straight. They slant off towards the middle of your foot if you buy the leather ones. Very wear-at-your-own-risk! These are definitely the shoes that should stay only on the runway and not find it's way into your closet.
