Drive me into the depths of insanity with the beauty of their footwear, that is. The moment I saw this incredible space shoe on Amazon, I knew they had to be mine!
- Ridiculously bright blue color? Check.
- Out of control space heel? Check.
- Cute rocket on the side? Check!!
I wore these for My Beautiful Rocket photoshoot with Audrey Kitching. The heel is 4″ – not very walkable for my height but some articles of clothing are like art: never meant to be worn. This is the kind of shoe that will get displayed in my house like a precious jewel. The fact that I did get to wear them once makes me feel closer to god (read: Danny Sullivan of Irregular Choice). By the way Danny, when are we getting married on a shoe-ship with a shoe-cake in a shoe-covered dress???
Deerlings: do you have a brand that can do no wrong by you? Post pictures of your favorite shoes!
Wow, first one. I was just off commenting the post before this one (About Russia), but now I feel blessed to be first, and because I really wanted some updates in this lovely blog!
Favourite brand… Amongst clothes it is Juice D’Orange, a French kind of unknown (I think) brand, which I used a lot and loved every single day wearing them. How lovely isn’t that?
Shoes.. Converse, for its beauty and arts. And Ecco — how lovely for the feet! I feel safe, grounded and strong walking in those shoes. ;) So that’s my favourite brand as for now…
Cheers! :)
Wow those are amazingly adorable!
I, for some reason, am craving a pair of these insane pom pom shoes from John Galliano:

I love artsy shoes like that, but I think right now my prize shoes are my very limited edition Joker sneakers:
JOKER! SHOES!
wow, thats seriousely a pair of nice shoes<3
I have had my eye on this same pair of shoes for a while now, but went for the Irregular Choice Cheeky Charm Boots instead – in metallic pink. Love Irregular Choice!
Only you could find those Doe!
I’m more of a conventional shoe person myself. For clothes and shoes I LOVE Ted Baker (british ready to wear) As the shoes fit me perfectly and the clothes all suit me. For this style think Blair Waldorf!
i love seychelles. i absolutely adore how they pair dull colours with vibrant accents. each shoe has a different feel and i jump on anything nautical that they have :)
I LOVE those shoes. Are most of their shoes leather? Just asking because I avoid wearing leather (for animal sake and because the tanning of leather is really bad for environment). Their site doesn’t really tell what the shoes are made of.
And your photos are great! So colorful!
They are amazing! I only own one pair or Irregular Choice shoes, but I’m so in love with them, I really need more.

I love the little stars painted on the bottoms. I really respect artisans/designers that put such attention to detail.
I would put these in a glass case with little “star lights” (display lights) on. XD
i adore those shoes!
that heel is just.. amazing
*humpf
I really want these boots from irregular choice
http://shop.irregularchoice.com/womens/product/2575/parrot-talk.html
I got really excited about checking out the brand… and then I saw that all the shoes started at a UK 37… I really wish shoe designers/makers would start making US size 5s again. *cry*
I mean, shoes are such a disappointment for me these days, it’s so hard to find anything to really die for in a 5 (ALWAYS 6 and up, always), and when one does find that rare gem of a 5, it usually has some astronomical price tag.
Whyyyyy, Doe?! Why?! What about girls with little feet? Why doesn’t anyone caaaaare? :(
@ Shanyne: I checked out their website (I don’t wear leather either). The shoes are predominantly leather (Click on Product Details). Sucks.
Looks like these shoes have a colourful sole as well – you should’ve shown us the sole too!
I’ve seen those blue heels before. They are so cute!!
I went through my favourites on my computer and this is what I had stored away:

OMG, they look so perfect.
thos are rediculously adorable, and they reminded me of one of my favourite artists;
Acrlyicana.

Hi, this is my first comment!
I absolutely love Irregular Choice shoes, but I too don’t wear leather. I ordered a pair which I loved that said on the product description that they were all fabric/synthetic, but when they arrived they turned out to have a leather lining so I had to send them back. Very frustrating.
I love Irregular Choice! They’re one of my favorite brands, although honestly they could stand to work on the comfort factor some.
The brand that can do no wrong for me is Fluevog. Quality shoes, no sweatshop labor involved, and COMFORTABLE HEELS. They are pricy-ish ($200-300/pair) but if you watch the sales on the site and on Amazon, some great deals are to be had, and they are worth every. single. penny. I recently snagged the Body Parts Pump for $94, the original price was $358.

I absolutely LOVE his shoes! When I grow up, I want to own a Fluevog store…haha.
@ Glendy – Look at the comment above yours, ha ha! I posted the same shoes! Aren’t they fabulous? Too bad they’re sold out nearly everywhere. :/
I loveeee Christian Louboutin shoes. Every shoe that I like in an ad turns out to be Louboutins. FML. I can’t afford them on a college student’s salary. -_-
I’m still in love with the Louboutin for Rodarte shoes.

That unicorn heel is amazing! Serious shoe crush going on over here. :O I found it kind of strange that Glendy said that it was sold out. I googled it and found a store pretty easily!(and in both colors too!)

Oh, and also these shoes might not be for the faint of heart, but I’d rock them any day of the year. The shoe that I covet the most has to be these Zombie heels made by Iron Fist
http://www.boingboing.net/2009/03/31/zombie-high-heel-sho.html
Another person chiming in on the “do no wrong” quality of Fluevogs. I know they’re not to everyone’s taste, but damn, John Fluevog turns out some awesome shoes. I am absolutely in love with around 95% of what he has on the website, and considering how picky I am with shoes, that’s saying something. xD
@Rae: Did you know that Iron Fist has a zombie flat available now? Not as striking as the heel, but I’ve been hearing some buzz over how the flat is available at Hot Topic.
(I’m a huge Iron Fist shoe fan as well. If you check out their site, they have a ton of other gorgeous styles, for excellent prices).
I second what @Aerie said. John Fluevog’s are A-mazing. I heart them so much. After that there’s a new line I’ve been enjoying, Punkrose.
I’ve been without internet connections for a few months – and today I was able to catch up on everything!!
Looooooove the new look of your site :)
The shoes are stunning…
But I confess I have no brand that makes the right stuff to me… x.x’
I’ve seen some TUK shoes that I found very very cute though… Irregular choice also have some beautiful ones….
But, since I can only buy from my country ’cause dollar makes things expansive to me, I’m not usually able to buy at the online stores I like.
So, in my country, I have no brand that I like…
(That probably explains why I did only bring 3 pairs of shoes – being one of them sneakers – when I moved out of my parents place XDDD)
grrr i was gonna buy these a few months back but they didnt have my size on their website anymore. uber jealous!
@Aerie- Yes, I have seen the flat version while searching for the heel at Hot Topic, but I just like the heels sooo much better. Thank you though :)
I heard that the zombie heels were just the first of a ‘monster shoes’ collection, and that Iron Fist was planning to make Frankenstein, Dracula, Gargoyle, ect. So far I haven’t seen/heard anything about the next shoe in the series :(
Also, what is their online store link? The only store I’ve seen says ‘coming soon’ whenever I click on the shoes
I’m so in love with these shoes! If you weren’t equally in love with them, I’d buy them from you just to display in my home. They are a real work of art and their beauty is inspiring.
So crazy you kinda have to love them! Though any shoes with stripes are fine by me for some reason.

i want these shoes like nobody’s business. T__T one of a kind, auctioned for AIDS benefit last year.
betsey johnson shoes own me.
Eep! Those are so very you. Gorgeous.
United Nude Eamz in almost any color are my dreaammm shoe, they look absolutely amazing and sexy, and unfortunately too pricey for me right now. But I’d LOVE to have them
Doe, I must ask..are any of the amazing shoes by IC wearable? I only ask because I *really* want to purchase a pair but want to make sure I can wear them either to work or for a night on the town.
Much love!! xoxo
Those space shoes are so special! All of the Irregular Choice designs are, really.
Lanvin without a doubt, can do no wrong. If only I could afford it!

Oh… and Report Signature decided against sending these into production! I almost cried!

I absolutely love these shoes:

I’m loving all the photo links that people are putting up!
Hiya. I’m new here. Did a web search for 80s make-up tips (for my 80s theme party this weekend) and found your gem of a blog.
Have had a quick look around and can confidently say that I reckon you are the only person around who might just be able to pull those shoes off!
Cheers, from one redhead to another.
@Rae: Hm, looks like they’ve moved their store (and upped their prices, and took a lot of their styles down since I was there a few weeks ago). But here’s the new link:

i LOVE bakers shoes. i buy almost all my shoes from there. every time i go in there is atleast 5 pairs of shoes i HAVE TO HAVE.
i love high heels but i ca never find cute shoes with a heel high enough to my liking! [at LEAST 4 inches.] and all their heels start at that. all very stylish and dressy and casual and great quality. always worth the price i think.
right now, i’m totally diggin these, in the pin/white
http://www.bakersshoes.com/product.aspx?c=276&p=121978
O.k so i want some really cool funky unsual shoes like these! any idea! please help xoxox LOVE THESE DOE!
Fhirne -
That is so depressing about the IC shoes. Sucks you had to send them back. I would have done the same. I really wish more designers made non leather varieties of shoes. I lot of the non leather shoes I do own are made my Rocket Dog, Demonia & Steve Madden Girl. But choices are definitley limited.
When I did wear leather my favorite brands were Fluevog & Swears (www.swear-london.com/ ) I still own several pairs of swears (can’t seem to throw them away since they were expensive) but I stopped buying new leather shoes in 2001.
Where can I find these wonderful shooooeees?!?!
That is the proper blog for anyone who needs to search out out about this topic. You notice so much its almost onerous to argue with you (not that I actually would need:HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, just nice!
Great blog, I am going to spend more time researching this subject
