Julian Hakes designed shoes that have no sole. The support is there, though, for the heel and ball of the foot, which forms a natural bridge between the two.

It's hard to tell whether these are shoes, pants or a little of both. While the sneaker design may be comfortable and practical off the runways; you certainly better plan ahead when nature calls.

The Umbrella Shoes can protect your feet and shoes from rain.

It’s footwear for the environmentally chic.

Designed to look like a modern high-chair, the high-chair heels take your feet 6 inches off the ground so they sit almost vertical. This innovative design makes a bold fashion statement that is perhaps better seen in home décor, because it's a fashion accident waiting to happen.
