I Hate Crocs!!
- I think they are the ugliest things I've ever seen & don't even think they look cute on kids. Also, outrageously high stiletto heels & spikes on shoes -- they scare me a bit. LOL!!

Platforms & Toe Cleveage
- Platforms -- especially with skinny heels. They make your feet look deformed. Crocs & uggs -- both ugly. Anything that gives you toe cleavage. It just looks like your shoes don't fit. It's not cute or sexy.

Uggs and flipflops
- Flip flops look horrible paired with anything, and uggs just look ugly.

I'd love to see shoes go back to normal
- I positively hate the high, high heels. While I am 74 yrs. old I still like to look nice and not elderly. I would love to see shoes go back to 'normal,' anywhere up to 3.5 inches, maybe 4 inches. I went through the pointed toe, high, narrow heel phase in the 50's and 60's. It ruined a lot of people's feet back then and these impossible high heels will do even more. Please, take the advice of an "old gal" whose been there and done that, lower the heels because if you went up to 7-8 inches there would be people who would try to wear them. What you sow in your younger years you will reap a horrible harvest in your later years.

Gladiator high heels and flip flops
- Gladiator high heeled platform sandals take away from an outfit because your eyes go straight to the shoes. So, if you're wearing a beautiful outfit, it's ruined by the look of those hideous straps and 2 inch platforms. And, don't even get me started on flip flops. People should be mindful of their feet. Not everyone has lovely feet that the world wants to see. Especially in the office. It can be really gross.

Plats, Uggs, Wedges
- Platforms will cause major and expensive future orthopedic problems especially if you were active and ever had even a minor trauma to any leg or hip area of the body, over 3-1/2" is asking for trouble. UGGS belong at home-- they are thick fat slippers! Wedges are not flattering and if you are over 40 they make you look old like you are bringing them back from the 1950's

Platform Shoes - Stop!
- This hideous, huge platforms on the front of women's heels thing, needs to stop. It's horrible. It lacks class and it really is just unflattering to the legs. And top of that, they are starting to make them in bright neon colors. It's atrocious. Most men hate the trend too. Out with the trashy and in with the classy already!

Ugly High Heel Shoes
- The very high heel shoes really are a complete con and ripoff. So many women have to carry them in their hands by the middle of the events they wear them for. They are ok for mad fashion shoots etc. but should not really be sold in shoe shops. Those shelves should be filled with really nice "kitten heel" shoes.

Worst Shoe Styles
- Unlike a lot of your respondants, I love platforms. I love cute, colorful shoes; but couldn't do 5 to 6 inch heels on my best day when I was younger (I'm a stylish 64) Today's heels hold a serious promise of a trip to the ER and sessions with an orthopedic/physical therapy establishment. Also, God did not give many of us pointed feet or the ability to walk gracefully in stilettos. Is there any hope of shoes returning to even a semblance of sanity?

What's With the Animal Hooves?
- I am genuinely tired of seeing thick platform 6" heels that curve up in the front and are 1.5" to 2.5" thick. I am trying to understand what woman wants to have their feet look like animal hooves. It's not an empowering look and it doesn't elongate the leg. It makes legs look grotesque and cheapens a woman's style.

Sneaker Heels
- Must I even say more? These two shoes should NOT be combined. Hideous.

Booties! EWWWWWW
- Any shoe that shares a name with a pair of infant slippers must be ugly, NO QUESTIONS!

All are ugly and painful
- I would rather go barefoot in snow then wear the styles of today. I'm 53 and my feet have no calluses or any other deformity because I just wear tennis shoes because I don't want to fall on my a-- with these clunky, ugly high heels
- —Guest Tina
I hate platform heels
- I looked online today for a pair of shoes and everything that was remotely cute had atleast 4.5-6 inch heels plus platforms. I'm 5'10" so I dont need all that extra height. And on top of that I wear a 13 so that makes it almost impossible to find shoes that fit my style, height, and taste. I have the shoe blues. Someone please direct me to a place where they sell cute shoes in a bigger size...

Outrageous Shoe Styles for Women
- After spending two hours online trying to find a couple pairs of shoes, I became very discouraged seeing the most outrageous styles of shoes for women. Most of them are designed by men. It's perverse and shouldn't be supported. I saw some styles that I really liked but 4 1/2 to 6 inch heels and high platform bottoms are out of my league, I can't fathom it. There really should be a protest. I am not too young for the very fashionable shoes out there but certainly not so old as to be switching to "grandma shoes" either! There has to be a happy medium for women 40 to 55.
