Nobody will dare to argue that fashion tends to get weird sometimes. From haute couture to simply unexpected trends, the fashion world is full of surprises. And while some of the odd surprises actually catch on and become viral trends, we bet the funny shoes you’re about to see on this list will never become mainstream. 

Lucky for us, the CrimesAgainstShoemanity Facebook page is here to gather the most unwearable pieces of feet fashion out there as a cautionary tale, perhaps. Eccentric, odd and some even gross - these cringe shoes will not leave anyone indifferent.

Take a look at some of the funny shoes, and let us know what you think about these unconventional designs in the comments!

Why Are Designer Clothes and Shoes Often So Unusual? 

If you’ve ever watched a haute couture fashion show, scrolled through a list of fashion fails on Bored Panda, or seen images of some awfully funny-looking shoes, you've probably wondered why these things were created in the first place. And, although it might seem that the answer lurks somewhere deep, and we will have to philosophize about it for quite some time, it is actually pretty simple. 

All these funny shoes, weird dresses, and pieces of garments we can’t comprehend just aren’t meant to be worn! Yes, you read that right. All these unusual clothes aren’t created with practicality in mind, and all the haute couture (literally high fashion in French) fashion shows are for expressing creativity and pushing the boundaries of conventional fashion design. In a nutshell, all these crazy clothes and stupid-looking shoes are actually walking artworks! And that’s why we often find them so unexpected and are quick to label them as unsightly, simply because we cannot imagine wearing them.

With the mystery cleared up, shall we return to the funniest shoes ever? There are still plenty of them on this list, so scroll down and vote on the ones that baffled you the most.

This pair will be great for leaving footprints around Churches and freaking religious people out into thinking Satan was there.

Actually an interesting idea. The zip would probably break easily though as the movement of walking would bend it

Actually, I think there were medieval shoes like that which were sort of a fad

I feel like someone just took a normal pair of black shoes, and used the liquify tool in Photoshop and just dragged their mouse until they couldn't go any further lol

I think you'd need socks with these ones. Funky ones, with polka dots or something of course.

You do this when you have a skin condition and you have to put special cream on. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap to help the cream soak into the skin.

This looks like they are wearing 2 pairs at one time. I have a pair of toed water shoes very similar to the blue in this picture. Maybe they just slide their feet into the birkenstocks to walk on dry land?
