? about an e-mail I received...

(1/3) > >>

Heavenly:
Sorry if this is in the wrong folder....

My sister (who loves to send me urban legends as true fact) sent me an e-mail with pictures of these shoes as the latest thing from Italy and Japan.  To me they look obviously photoshopped (plus who would wear these things!), but I can't find anything on snopes or hoaxbusters to disprove this e-mail.  Perhaps I am just putting the wrong words in?

Any ideas....

Shoo:
They look like a podiatrist's nightmare!  Or a ballerina's dream (they come complete with braces for those unable to maintain en pointe).

Can't imagine they're real, but who knows?  People wear some crazy stuff.  The crapola the fashion designers try to ram down our throats ....  this could be more of the same.  Not *really* meant for mainstream people to wear.  Just something to call attention to their label.

Heavenly:
If you look at the red shoes carefully you can see that they are both right feet and the buckle has been photoshopped off the "left" foot.  There were more pictures (some I didn't doubt were real), but these are just too fake.   :o

Has anyone else received this e-mail?

ladiedeathe:
Um, don't ask me how I know but...

These are very real shoes. They are usually worn for fetish or bondage play, and come with warnings not to try and actually walk any distance in them. If you google "fetish shoes boots high heels" you should come up with lots of examples.

Madd Hatter:
About.com's urban legends section has these pictures and more.  They were in a hoax email that was going around.  They are for fetish people.  I can barely walk in 1 1/2" heels, forget even trying these on!  lol
