Our Poor Feet! Is This The UGLIEST Season For Shoes Ever?
Somebody Send Help In The Form Of A Stilleto
Whilst we usually take pity on our tootsies because we're squeezing them into stilettos and making them walk at weird angles, this season we're feeling sorry for our feet for a very different reason.
And that's because it might well just be the UGLIEST season for shoes of all time.
So whilst our nails are getting painted in pastels and we're dressing our bodies in stylish sports luxe, our feet have certainly got the poor deal when it comes to the SS14 trends.
Whether it be pool sliders (yuck), chunky-soled canvas (eww) or kitten heels (no thank you) there's really nothing in the shops that tickles our toes' fancy.

And it's all thanks to the designers who trotted their models down the catwalk in a host of vile footwear creations back at the September '13 shows.
Simon Rocha sent his girls down the runway in unattractive 90s jelly shoes - so thank you Simon, for inspiring a host of plastic, glittery flats throughout the high street. Like these -->
But they're definitely not the worst of the summer shoes on diplay this season. Because with the return of the pool slider, there really is no sartorial hope.
They may be just about OK to lounge around the pool on hols in, but we still think even the longest-of-leg-owning models look odd with two plastic planks on the end of their pins.
Serious fashion fail in our books -->
And while we're on the topic of ugly flats, a special mention goes to the age-old brand Birkenstock, which is having a revival thanks to a host of celeb wearers (curse those influencers). Comfortable they may be, A-listers, but stylish is quite another thing. And they don't go with ANYTHING (we've tried).
Case in point here, Ashley Olsen

But because we can't REALLY argue with fashion, and because we have to wear SOMETHING on our poor soles, here's our pick of the best of the high street's 'ugly' footwear. As perverse as that sounds.
And at least one thing's for sure, there won't be a blister in sight.
