I have a sneaking suspicion that some of you might quite like these shoes, seduced by the old-skool style of the uppers and the luxe velvet fabric. As far as The Fashion Police are concerned, though, the stiletto-sneaker is a crime of fashion in all its many forms, and no amount of silky velvet will persuade us otherwise.

Hybrids like this, you see, are just wrong as far as we’re concerend. The fact is that sneakers aren’t meant to have stiletto heels. It’s like seeing a car with feet, or a dog with the body of a fish. It’s almost unnatural, and while these ones are by far the worst example of the genre, we just can’t bring ourselves to love them. Sorry, stiletto sneakers!
