Floral slouch clog, $248.00 at Free People.
Submitted by beckfast and Erica. This is the first entry that was submitted by multiple people. These shoes are that bad. I kinda like that these resemble a floral foot straitjacket, as it will help us identify crazy people on their footwear alone.
Midrise boot spat by Dekkori, $126.00 at Pink Mascara.
Anytime a certain look or item blows up, you are going to get a wave of crappy look-a-likes trying to get on the wagon. Posso the Spat gets positive editorial and celebrity coverage and suddenly everyone wants to do spats. Now, I am not even a fan of what Posso the Spat is doing, but it sure is better than this. This looks like a white leather leg warmer/ace bandage. The stripper heels they styled it with doesn’t help either. Not a good look.
White tribal wedges by Jeffrey Campbell, $150.00 exclusively at Karmaloop.
In recent years, Jeffrey Campbell has made a name for himself as the Steve Madden of edgier designs. His shoes knock off Ann Demeulemeester, Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, and Acne among others. This pair takes Givenchy’s tribal print wedges, and reproduces it in a cheap, plastic leather. The print is over the top, and it only works on the Givenchys because of the luxurious material, which the Campbells lack. They then covered the wedge in common thumbtacks, and not even well as some of the tacks overlap poorly. I have seen more steady hands on blogger diys. All in all, it makes for on hot mess of a shoe.
Over the knee boots by Kimchi Blue, $78.00 at Urban Outfitters.
These monstrosities catch you off guard. On the main page, the thumbnail shows the boots in black suede. It’s only after clicking that the true horror of the shoe is revealed. Sneaky bastards.
