The Most Unusual Wedge Shoes and Retro Platform Sandals

Camilla Skavgaard makes some suede platform wedge sandals that are right up there with bizarre. Somewhere between traction tires on military equipment and open sandal snow boots in camouflage white. If you’re confused, then go see a pair for yourself because one day they may be museum pieces or contemporary art instead of footwear. I’m not sure if they are really retro, but I think they may be called retro-futuristic.

Keeping up with Camilla in the unusual wedge shoes department is Guillaume Hinfray and the cream and white leather and cork monstrosity that looks like it weighs 1,000lbs. Imagine a large leather box with rounded edges, a small cut out for the foot, another cut out for the toes to peek out at the world and that’s what Hinfray sells for almost $700.

Givenchy isn’t far behind in the race for most unusual wedge shoes and retro platform sandal designs with the Ruched leather platform wedge in black, black and black with a concealed heel that’s massive (and impossible to conceal except by adding more black suede). And this masterpiece of massive black proportions costs almost $1,300 for those who want really huge balck feet.

If totally ugly and completely impractical qualifies to be labeled Unusual, then the Acne Platform Wedge Ankle Boot must be added to the list. It is exactly what you think it is. A shapeless grey boot that laces up to the ankles with a colossal wedge heel camouflaged under more grey leather, and it only costs $650!

Retro-modern platform wedge sandals with absolutely no shape, in fact nothing more than a chunk of something to stand on and some straps ….that is what would aptly describe the Maison Martin Margiela wedges that cost almost $400. Unusual or just ugly, you’ll have to decide.

Fish scales and orange-brown suede in a retro platform wedge sandal design by Chie Mihara….also bizarre footwear for those who dare to wear them….but at least they only cost $263. In fact anything you see from Chie Mihara or Camilla Skavgaard will be either part of some unusual wedge shoes collection too bizarre to wear or part of a wedge sandals experiment sure to end up in a future museum or art gallery!
