Quick straw poll, folks. Things that are dead: who likes ‘em? Ok, now who wants to actually wear artistic renderings of their poor dead bodies? Just Giuseppe Zanotti, then. Well, that certainly explains why he decided to use a fish skeleton as the centerpiece for this pair of strappy sandals, which will currently cost you $850 at eLuxury.
Now, maybe it’s just us, but when we see skeletons – even fish ones – we tend to find them just a little bit creepy, by which we mean it hardly ever occurs to us to think, "hey, you know what, these fish skeletons would sure make a cute pair of shoes!" This is even the case if the skeletons in question are silver, and encrusted with jewels. They’re still fish bones, and we still don’t want them anywhere near our feet. Do you?
i admit. i want them. i love them. i think they are awesome and quirky and slightly off kilter but totally wearable.
I quite like them. A little too bling, and I’m not keen on the shape of the heel. But actually, they’re a lot less dead than your average pair of leather shoes.
I think I’d like them if they were just skeleton *inspired* because the shape of the fish ribs is interesting, but with the head and tail there?!?! YUCK.
I think they are really cool but, I like skeletons. Of course, that could be the remnants of my gothy days.
I love sparkly shoes, so this one’s a winner!
Maybe I’m the only one, but I completely agree with you: they are very creepy.
the heel’s ugly, and i’m not disgusted that it’s a fish skeleton, i just don’t find fish skeletons sexy or glamorous, which is what i think shoes should be
these appeal to the deviant weirdo in me
I think these would be interesting without the head and tail (because that’s just nasty… who would want to go out looking like they just walked through a fishie graveyard and threw some glitter on it?) I’d like to actually see them on someone’s foot.
@selah: they’re worn by a French singer, Mylène Farmer, here: http://www.mylenement-fan.fr/tv/2008/13dec2008france2.htm

I’m a pisces! I have to have them!! I’ve been tracking them down since I saw Sex in the City.. The cheapest I’ve found them is for $510.. which is still way pricey for me… but god do I want them!
I give them a high five for being very different and original.
Although, I don’t love the shoes.
There pretty, but a little creepy to me.
i have them like the flat version so damn cute!!! everyone likes them they look cute on!!
