Wild shoe designs that you have to see to believe

• The "ugly shoe"trend has been popular since 2018.
• Now, major retailers like Fashion Nova, Nordstrom, and ModCloth are selling wild footwear online.
• Not only can you purchase heels that look like pianos, but you can also find sneakers with built-in socks.

Wild shoe designs have been rising in popularity amongst celebrities in recent years. Miley Cyrus, for example, wore heels shaped like her initials to the 2019 Grammy Awards, while Cardi B donned sneakers that created an optical illusion months earlier.

But, as is the case with most fashion trends, there’s much debate over whether or not these "ugly" shoes are stylish – some called for the trend to end in 2018, while others were in search of standout kicks ahead of Coachella in April 2019.

Still, the trend lives on today, with many major retailers making and selling unconventional shoe designs. Below, check out some of the most eye-catching shoes you can currently find online.

To complete an edgy look, you can purchase goth-style Crocs on Etsy.

The black clogs are adorned with studs, spikes, and chains across each shoe. You can also choose to attach an additional spike on the side of each clog for no extra cost.
Cost: $150

The black and white sneakers feature a heart design and red jewels attached to the heel, both of which are covered in glaze to create an illusion that the footwear is melting.
Cost: $1,195
