Fashion Break: Really Ugly Shoes

I’ve been clicking through a lot of shopping sites for work for NBC’s fashion blog “The Thread.” I just put together “Espadrille Thrill,” a photo gallery (complete with shopping credits, of course) of the 20 cutest espadrilles of the season. I came across a number of absolutely hideous summer shoes in my search. Here are five of the most ridiculous.

Clockwise (the middle one is last):

DSquared2 Hiking Sandals, $595
Cocobelle Bahia Python Thong Sandals with Ankle Cuff, $70
80%20 Molly Tea Party Open Toe Hidden Wedge in Pink Floral, $116
F-Troupe Heart Plastic Sandal in Black Heart, $140
Giuseppe Zanotti Strass Suede Caged Sandals, $1,595
