If you never get to see a shoe making love to a doorstop in your entire life, at least now you've seen the aftermath. With a design seems more like a ploy to get attention than an actual shoe, Marc Jacobs has surely created one ugly piece of fashion with his new ankle-breaking pumps.

I 'm no expert when it comes to ladies' footwear, but I know fugly when I see it -- and there's no way I can pass up an opportunity to comment on a pair of shoes this freaky. The metallic leather is a nice touch, and the shoes could almost be tasteful, if the heels weren't so reminiscent of office furniture.

What can I say, the heel is really the whole focal point here. Maybe these babies would make a good weapon? The metal heel could definitely do some damage to a mugger or henchman. Do these shoes serve an orthopedic function, like the ones with the spring on the bottom? These are rhetorical questions, of course.

I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting?
