I found this pair of shoes on this blog awhile ago, but I just looked up the designer. Nicholas Kirkwood's shoes, to me, are pieces of art. Usually I think it's a little weird when people consider their shoes art, and don't wear them because they need to preserve them. For example, if I had a pair of these babies there'd be no way I'd just keep them on a pedestal in my room for no one to see but myself. But I do agree with those loonies that shoes can be their own little masterpieces. In no way in the ranks of Monet and Degas, but more like functioning art. Like all those overpriced chairs in Dwell.

They should make the guys at Guantanamo Bay wear these shoes. Talk about torture!
