A comfortable nightmare!

This is a second appearance by Robert Clergerie in our Ugly Shoe of the Week column, but I couldn’t resist showing you these shoes, which I’m sure are very comfortable, but which are definitely not “chic and sweet”, as Zappos suggest.

Even worse, these aren’t cheap: they’re $569, which seems like a lot of money to me to end up with something that looks so clumpy and unattractive. Zappos suggest wearing them with a pair of short shorts. If you think that sounds like the best idea you’ve heard all week, you can buy them there for the aforementioned $569.
