If a shoe looks like a dog, don't wear it

I saw a high-heeled shoe in a recent fashion magazine that had a lot of fringe that cascaded over the entire thing making it look like the wearer had a pair of yorkshire terriers on their feet. 

I understand suffering for art or fashion, but I think wearers would suffer because of wearing these shoes.  For example, what if the shoes came face-to-face with the real thing and the real thing mistook them for a 'friend.'  Ensuing activities might be embarrassing for both the dog owner and shoe wearer.  It's something to think about.  Personally, I think if they're going to make shoes that look that much like dogs, they should come with baggies.

These shoes certainly don't classify as 'classics' and I would be hard pressed to want to spend the required price to have them languishing in my closet, or endure the laughter of my friends and family if I ever actually wore them.

Fashion extremes, while amusing may not suit everyone's lifestyle.  I cannot think of a place to wear yorkie-esque shoes where they would be appreciated and not mocked. Where would one wear them?  Sundance?  Cannes?  Tahiti? UC 87? Uncle Ming's?
