These Pour la Victoire heels are insane.  I’d never wear them, but they’re definitely a piece of art (that I could see Betsey Johnson wearing)

I just spotted these shoes at Shopbop.com from Pour La Victoire. I can’t really tell if they are made to be rain boots if they just happen to look like a pair.

Either way, are they IN worthy or a complete waste of leather?
