26 Sculptural Shoe Masterpieces

From Cactus Shoes to Sea Creature Shoes

— December 1, 2009 — Fashion

These sculptural shoe masterpieces are just some of the amazing art pieces reserved for those dainty, female feet. I think they are better served in museums, but if you think you can rock them without hurting yourself, power to you.
