'Course, it's gotta be hard to tell with footwear that looks like a rocket launcher!

7. I refuse to believe a man will find these attractive.

Any man I have ever went with wanted a woman that moved like a cat. Heels not to high, not to low. This would have them walking, no running away.

And I can say this with confidence because I have dated geeks and football players.

8. Regular high heels look tortuous to me

But many people think that they enhance the look of women's legs and make them move more gracefullly.

The devices in that video seem to have no purpose other than torture. They do not make the woman look more attractive and make her move like a injured animal. My money is on a sadistic SOB as the designer and I think any one who would actually wear them is a masochistic fool.

9. WTF??

I don't know what the hell that's supposed to be, but "scary beautiful" ain't. Well, the scary part is right, but damn, those things are beyond hideous. So is what they do to whoever wears those ugly, nasty things.

The animalistic bend to the leg is probably part of it.

There is quite a backward thrust to the pelvis those things cause.

Not my thing by any stretch, but so long as all are adults and willing participants they should be mature enough to understand if other adults say yuck.

17. Looks like a performance art piece . . .

Just a guess, but perhaps to spotlight the ridiculous footwear some women wear in the name of fashion?

The shoes make this poor girl look like she's been holding in a colossal poop for the last couple of days! Get that woman to a toilet!
