Crime of Fashion: Luichiny’s Haidee shoe boots
Well, we’re back from our vacation, folks, and kicking off with a crime of fashion submitted by Fashion Police reader Zoe. Luichiny are fast gaining a reputation for creating some of the ugliest shoes in the business, but I think they may have excelled themselves with this little number, don’t you? They say these would look good with "all your denim or leggings". We say they’d look good with all your other streetwalkin’ gear. Or, wait – not even with that, actually. They’re just fugly. They’re not particularly cheap either, at $149 – do we have any takers?
I honestly think that these shoes also go right up there with some ugly Luichini designs.

However , most of their other designs (at least on Zappos.com) are rather attractive. Well there IS this one denim ballet flat that is a no-no. But that’s just me, I think denim belongs only to jeans and occasionally jackets.

I’m having a lot of trouble picturing these on…they are weird.
I just wonder why designers feel the urge of making weird things ( and these shoes are not weird, they’re just plain horrendous).. May I add that I had to search for over a month and part with 150£ to find simple leather black flat flats in a size 4?? Don’t you guys see a problem, here?
Virginia, you’re so right! It’s always the simple, classic shoes that are hardest to find, just like it’s always impossible to find a plain black sweater or jeans that fit. Grr!
