South Africa is considered as the fashion capital of the world. Fashionista's and stylists often rock up on the red carpet wearing the best and most extravagant outfits money can buy.
Women just love their shoes in these parts of the world. From those shoes we don't know by name to Armadillo shoes, to Julian Hake's Mojito, Mzansi has played host to all types of shoes.
There are shoes that fit all styles and takes. From spikes to dangerously high heels that keep you wondering how some people walk in them.
Shoe collectors can attest that designers have always experimented with out-there new ideas, some of which (like giant flatforms) have broken through to the mainstream trend-sphere, while some have really just broken our ankles.
The scene is constantly set alight with Chinese foot-binding to curling great Medieval winkle pickers, ancient cultures loved an extreme shoe shape, often completely disabling their feet for the love of fashion.
Christian Louboutin remains one of the most sought after shoes in the country. If you have a pair of these in your closet then you are good to go.
But weird footwear does not always translate to unwearable footwear. Some of the most beautiful creations have come from out-there ideas.
So which are some of the weird shoes you have ever worn and how much did you pay for them?
