The Red Shoes

This brings new meaning to ballerina wannabes. Apparently, these are the rage in Japan. Ouch! Is that what Moira Shearer would say?

I am a short height girl and those red colored high heel shoes are best for me.
Wow, those shoes are like ballet shoes except for without the style and grace. Seriously why on earth would u punish yourself?
Atleast for ballet you wear them for an art, this is just plain wannabe-ism.
These look like deformitated pointe shoes. For wanna-be ballerinas who don't take the time to actually take ballet and strengthen the muscles needed to wear pointes.
HAHA :L
...they're cute...i wouldn't wear them, not because it's "wannabe-ism" but just because they look painful...don't get me wrong there are people who can wear them with no problem I'm just not one of them...(p.s I wish people would stop gossiping all the time over nothing!...they're friggin shoes, get over it!!!!!)
thoses should die in a pit
They look comfortable enough.. But if stumble you can break a leg.
what's the name of those shoes?
omg these shoes are so cool1 i love them!
im a short gilr so these shoes will most def help me look a lot taller i can't wait to have them!!!! (:
OMG!!! This shoes are so ugly!!! Yuck!! I don;t like them! They look sooo... UGLY!!!
EWWW! who would want them??? my advice - NOBODY PUNISH THEMSELFS WITH....THAT OBOMINATION OF STYLE. lol XD no... really....DONT.
I SWEAR!! seriously, these shoes are just the most ugliest, most disgusting , retarded-est, demented-est , WEIRDEST shoes i have ever ever seen !

i lovethem, i am tall and adventurous and love cheese! and pot noodles....oooh and chocolate trifle xx HAHA :L
These shoes are weired and how do you walk in them?? =]]
But soo groovilicious baby ...
:o amazing. Who designed??
Were can i buy a pair??
Lovee yaa.
xx
Those aren't shoes; they are weapons!
Why would you ever want to wear these? ->No offense to people who like them. But for reals.. They look painful to walk in them for one. And secondly.. They just look weird. If you are THAT desperate for a pair of high heels to make yourself taller.. you might as well bring back the platform shoes from the `80's.(:
I think these are cute but p3rsonally i wudnt wear them!!!
I kno sum1 that did though--BEYONCE...on the back of her shasha fierce album she took a pic. doin sum kind of accrobatic move with these on but she wuznt standing up she was layin down..butt that comes 2 show u that if QUEEN B cant stand up in those MONSTROCITIES then america shud juzz give it up!!!
P.S- ku+e th0ugH~~~ lol
wtf how do u walk in them, or squeeze human feet into them? you would have to have alian feet to be able to where them and not be in extream pain! they don't even look nice!!! get some shoes that poeple can WHERE! and that don't look like your an alian ballerina!!!
