Go to the article if you want to find out more about these shoes.
I have mixed feelings about these flamboyant creations. On the one hand, they’re extravagant, surprising, and almost made me squeal with glee. Whee! Feathers! Colors! Whee! Definitely creative and the very opposite of “blah.”
On the other hand, however, I find them almost impossible to wear. Well, unless I’m working the red carpet to promote Flights of Glory: Big Bird’s Journey, or perhaps a fancy masked ball. Needless to say, the probability of my attending either events in the future is extremely dim.
If feathers became the acoutrements du jour, I guess I’d probably go with these Louboutins: 
The Rosazissimo feather shoes are $760 at Net-a-porter. But don’t hold your breath, as I don’t expect feathers to become mainstream any time soon.

When designing a pair of shoes with high fashion, you need to find the balance among comfort, quality and style.” However, the light sports shoes have always been despised by Manolo Blahnik, “They are pale and often very dirty!” —–shoestop10.com—

A couple of years ago, I saw a pair of Kate Spade shoes with feathers and I didn't get them and now I am haunted by them and can't find them anywhere. Hopefully they'll resurface if this becomes a trend.
And love those Louboutins.

Fantastic Photographing,
Shoes are really very fancy and imaginary.
I agree Red Louboutins are considerable, in other words these are nice.
