Shoenista's 2009 awards - Minger of the Year

This award goes to Irregular choice for their boot-clog-thing. Some questions I have to ask about this boot-clog-thing.

Does it bend?

Can you actually walk in this?

Will Granny MacPherson miss her kilt?

Can I store my firewood in it?

Was the outsole inspiration little Johnnys junior woodworking class?

WTF?

Danny, what were you thinking?

Thankyou so much to for drawing my attention to this minger, refinery 29.

The Tart of the Trade Award for most copied design.

This award is named after an old shoe salesmans term for a winning style.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you, the studded strapped short biker (middle pic). I think possibly Russell and Bromley did this first, then everyone did their version. Infact I bet you can't find a shoe shop or shoe department on the UK high street that doesn't have them. I challenge you!

And judging by what I saw at Micam in September it won't be going away for 2010 - Sienna Miller - it's all your fault! (pics from The Daily Mail).

Special mention goes out to the Steve Madden 'Banglez' gladiator (top). See what you did there, Steve, you didn't copy anyone for once and you got a winner!

Shoenista's 2009 awards - The Lady Gaga Award

Ok it's the end of the year so I've decided to hold my own blogosphere shoe awards. Number 1 is the Lady Gaga Award (AKA the WTF award) for out-there shoe design.

I'm going to award this one to Alexander McQueen.
