          ^ Ah, I actually quite like those CCP boots (on women of course). I've seen those in the bone colour-way, and when dressed correctly they look fierce . The only concern I would have is being able to walk, especially on something like cobblestone.

            yeah, i guess boots are made for walking. these arent, though i dont know the main purpose of that sole was in a historical perspective.

              i'm not following you? the boots are really bad, in that particular way that CCP can be...way too literal, like pat is implying. frankly, i've seen better interpretations of that particular style from artsy "comfort" shoe manufacturers aimed at "quirky" pottery professors or someone of that sort.

              if i am missing something, please enlighten.

                I like the idea of the CCP boots but to be quite honest, it's not very well executed. Looks more like someone modified them on their dining room table with a kitchen knife and permanent marker.

                  if you are referring to the pic above then yea the sole is weird with the asian stilt thing going on but in general CCP tornados and side zips are prob one of the best executed boots out there, quality is insane, thick leather, what else would you want.

                  the above boots would be great w/out the stilts, one can always saw the stilts off and vibram

                    well, i'm sold to his work so i can see the beauty of this awkward attempt to feminize the spiral boots (in the last collection he went back to the classic sole for the fe-male tornados which become too close to the male version but that's another story). plus there are other plays on the japanese classic garments in the 09 collection where these boots come from. anyway, i see your point and patroklus's and can agree to some extent. the point of my post was a meta-wtf, not about the shoes but about the original poster.

                      I guess it's too late, but that would've been a meme.

                        Always the same problem... You're judging these boots from a point of view/perspective that no one will ever seen - unless one is lying on the ground knocked down by the woman who'd wear the boots and strongly disagree with that kind of stupid comments.
                        Laika : they're coherent with CCP's constant effort to design shoes and boots that are hindering the gait - more or less - and belong as well to the long list of hybrid forms he likes to create (remember something that I sent you a while ago ? ).

                          i know the footwear is notoriously uncomfortable, i didn't realize it was purposeful. could you elaborate a little please?

                            which of the shoes are uncomfortable for you? maybe you've sized wrong.

                            my derbies, boots and sneakers are all very comfortable.

                              I don't own any. I'm just curious about the idea.
