weird shoes 3

First we had the strange, plasticky, Transformers shoes.
Then we had the cutsiepie bunny-slipper shoes.

Now, we have Backwards shoes.

Does this suggest some sort of desperation on the part of the designers? Sort of a "Oh, no! Women might decide they already HAVE shoes in every style"?

I will grant that these shoes are less ugly than the Transformers shoes, but I think watching someone walk in them would give me a headache, because my brain would tell my eyes "You're doing it wrong!"
