Just because these shoes are walking the high fashion runway does not mean they are nice! Check out the shoes featured in designer Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 Collection on the runway! Monikered as the "Alien Shoe", this footwear was meant to be strictly for show during the collection's runway display, just as dramatic hair and makeup usually are at these types of fashion shows. Once they made their appearance on the runway the "Alien Shoes" proved to be a bigger hit than the designer had anticipated. Lady Gaga even wore them in her music video for "Bad Romance".
A spokesperson for the fashion label reports that there has been great interest in buying the shoes after they were shown during the Alexander McQueen runway show and that there are even people who want to buy them as pieces of art. Auctioning them off for charity has been discussed as an option to make them available to the public but they were never intended as retail items. The spokesperson also indicated that these shoes are so innovative that they have copyrighted the process that is undergone to create these shoes.
Not sure about you guys but I'd likely only wear these as part of a Halloween costume.
