What is this Hot Mess???!!!

Luichiny’s Riley for $138.60 at Zappos & $150 at Shoes.com.

Honestly, I mean no offense to anyone whose heart swoons when they see these babies. And I give HUGE points to anyone who figures out how to pull these off. But, I don’t get it. Are they dressy or casual? Can anyone tell me the planet, continent or climate where these might be comfortably worn? Sweaty ankles in summer. Wet toes in the rain. Frostbite guaranteed in winter. Oh, and suede? Isn’t that asking for trouble? Perhaps the wearing season is simply very brief; perhaps between 5PM and 8PM for 3 days in September?

I find these intriguing, but ultimately unwearable; although they certainly do draw the eye. Maybe they are actually meant to be table art? That actually makes a bizarre kind of sense.
