Christian Louboutin has outdone himself. Blake Lively was seen recently wearing the designer’s new “Alex” pumps, and dare we say…meow.
You, too, can release your inner lioness with that extra $4,995 you’ve got lying around. With a furry texture and a glammed-out pedicure, surely these pumps are channelling not just any beast. I’ll be interested to see if an accessibly awesome site like ASOS runs with this idea and makes the look more attainable for people like you and me. Regardless, you can’t knock them for being understated – love them or hate them, they do the talking while you’re walking.
(And check out a few more pics of animal-inspired pumps in the slideshow!)
So, price tag aside, would you wear them? Or are they a piece best kept as sculpture, not fashion?

I’m usually quite the louboutin fan, but I can’t see myself wearing these for anything but a swag Halloween party, and they are FAR TOO pricey to be worn on Halloween alone.

they look like moldy mushrooms growing on her shoes. fugly. the mustard yellow color and whatever tiny accents are on the heels of the shoes look like nasty bathroom grime.

I can’t figure out what I would possibly wear them with. And they look pretty ugly to me. I’m good.
guest
the shoes are ugly. The heels and the price are way too high!

My first response was along the lines of: hahahaha. I like the colors of the mallard duck pair, but not the bill. I can’t decide if the dog pair is cute or creepy, but the black cats are cute (in the, “I had a pair like these when I was six, and I’m so excited to find them in big girl sizes!” way). As for the paw pair, no… just, no.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say they kind of look cool.
guest
I barely have an extra dollar laying around and no I wouldn’t wear them ever. They’re hideous.

Not really feeling the animal-inspired shoes.

I wouldn’t have even noticed them if someone had showed me this picture without pointing out the shoes. They’re pretty fun as a statement piece with the rest of her casual outfit.
Also, I freaking love those mallard duck shoes!
guest
AHHHHHH!!!! I love them!!!! specially the ducks, oh and then the lion paw ones man these are soooo coool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@chicbananas@xanga - and here i was thinking i was the only one
alright, i get that we are not on the serengeti nor are we easin’ on down the road in search of some courage, but DAMN. if you’re as rich as blake blandly, you can afford some fuzzy-lion-slipper-looking louboutins. bitch is on gossip girl, n’est ce pas? folks are always saying how the city is a jungle, so maybe she took that “king of the jungle” phrase to the next level (even though lions don’t live in the jungle… just go with it). if i had a few thousand to spend on shoes i’d only wear once, hell yes i’d get me a pair of clawfoot pumps to prance about in.
this is all coming from a bitch with a panda on her head, so there’s that.

nah … I wouldn’t wear them.. maybe if it were a different colour

They’re lacking the platform on front which made them more comfy, so no. These shoes would feel like feet murder after 10 minutes.

How do people WALK in that? Especially on concrete pavements?! I’m absolutely useless in stilettos outside. I save them for carpetted floors only ^^”

umm, am I the only one who finds them (although creative) kind of creepy- at least the last 2? Especially the cat feet/tails, they sort of make me feel squeamish.
guest
i think its really cute but i wouldn’t wear it everyday!

well thank you for making me laugh for the day but i think i’ll pass – for damn near $5000 i’ll find a better pair of heels .
guest
UgggLY. ppl are dying and starving all over the world and ppl spend this kind of $ on shoes. dont sit right with me

I would wear (the lion ones) to the home coming events at the college that I am teaching. They aren’t exactly representing actual mascot, but they’d still work especially since they are the right color. The homecoming events are full of fashion shows and such and these would be an awesome statement. Other than that, I think most of them are ugly. The cat ones say crazy cat lady trying to be sexy for a date.

EW.
