Default Frankenboots

ugh, someone please steal this terrible footwear from Stevie. Are her feet in THAT bad shape that they need to be "encased" in these?

they actually look different that the previous fugliness. These look to have more of a wedge sole...they actually look a little better than the others, but not by much.

even a pair of comfortable flats would look better than these, but then again, she is only like 5'1", right? She must feel she needs the height, even if they do make her look ridiculous.

Well wedges are in style (again) this year. Those are so far from being boots. They are more like Frankenshapeups. Now available in wedge style. Oh Stevie honey...just be short like the rest of us.

AMEN! Even a pair of Rocket Dog clogs would be more fashionable!

They do look different....and better!
I recall during the FM show @ Anaheim I was up front and could actually see frigging "shoe lace's" on the frankinboots she wore that night! Not a pretty picture for such a lovely woman!

They look custom made, or modified. Unless that was something she actually found somewhere. Wedges are kind of "in" these days. Wonder what size those are. I would think you could get something nicer looking and functional. She's probably on the endless shoe quest that we all are on. Might be fun calling Zappos or FitFlops and asking for Frankenboks.

I want to know how she gets in them, they look so encased around her whole foot. How can one possible move when their foot is so encased? It would be like trying to dance (or spin!) in skiing boots!

Yeah, I guess the stretchy fabric on the back half helps.

These puppies are actually ankle height. The upper half that goes up her legs are actually pleated leather leg warmers that are supposed to give the illusion she's wearing full boots. Somebody posted close up pics on here once of these hideous things where it's clearer what they are.

They are better than the SYW ones but they look like MOON BOOTS and weigh her down so much!! How about something a little lighter?? I feel for her wearing high boots all those years and understand that it could be uncomfortable at this point but please, there are comfortable options much more attractive than this!

*I'm not defending her you guys!

Yeah those do look different from the chunky monstrous boks she usually wears. Still I like boots.
