120 Weird Shoes We Didn’t Know Existed

Ok, this is probably not what you expected to look at today — a whole post dedicated to weird shoes. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. The fashion industry is no stranger to the odd and impractical. Just by looking at fashion shows, we see designers constantly pushing the boundaries and experimenting with new concepts. However, those experiments can very often result in some… weird-looking designs.

Weird-looking shoes, more specifically. They’re supposed to protect our feet and make a fashion statement, but sometimes, designers go above and beyond to create weird shoes that leave us scratching our heads. But hey — if nobody pushes boundaries, nothing new would ever come up! From the ones that look like a work of art to shoe designs that are just plain bizarre, we’ve rounded up the weirdest shoes that have hit the market.

To be honest with you, most of these are the most unsightly shoes we’ve ever seen, and we just cannot comprehend how someone would even come up with them. But despite the questionable design, some of these pieces have actually become popular among fashion enthusiasts looking for something different. While these weird shoes may not be everyone’s cup of tea, they’re certainly worth a look for their sheer uniqueness — and who knows, maybe someday one of them will become the next big trend.

Why Are Weird Shoe Designs Becoming Mainstream?

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and taste has no friends, right? But, be it as it may, it’s only a partial answer to the dilemma these weird designer shoes present us with, and to get to the core of this unsightly trend, we need to dig a bit deeper.

In a world where most goodies are mass-produced, and everything looks essentially the same due to social media and its algorithms, we tend not to notice any “normal looking” things. They’re just a part of our daily lives and no longer interesting.

That’s where weird shoe designs step in (pardon the pun). Designers keep pushing the boundaries of normality further, creating truly incredible designs each year. And while at least half of us agree that these weird shoes are pretty unsightly, none of us will disagree they’re unoriginal. So, most of the weirdest shoes you see on this list were made to push the fashion boundaries and stand out of the crowd. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be original, even if that means creating or wearing funny weird shoes! As they say, you do you.
