Decapitated Doll Shoes

The Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge is Made for Barbie Lovers

— June 30, 2014 — Fashion
It was only a matter of time before Jeffrey Campbell, a fashion-forward footwear designer known for his imaginative and eccentric creations, designed something like the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge. Although it looks rather tame at first glance, the shoes boasts a high heel filled with the decapitated heads of Barbie dolls.

Complemented with a pale pink suede upper, the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge is made for a feminine woman with a fierce edge. Not everyone is able to pull such a sweet and sassy look without coming off as completely crazy. Granted, it is currently out of stock on Modcloth, so perhaps that are more bold women out there than one would think.

Aside from the heads, the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge is sleek and simple.
