10 Of The Best, Ugliest Shoes You Need Right Now

what are thoooooose?

by Robin Reetz

There are but a few things more satisfying in life than an ugly pair of shoes you love. You know the type we’re talking about: they’re super fashionable, feel super right, but if we’re honest, they’re also not the prettiest. We have a soft spot in our heart for this kind of shoe. Plus, there’s nothing like an ugly shoe to accomplish that whole “fashion forward” thing in one fell swoop. (Or so we tell ourselves…)

Ahead are 10 shoes that meet our ugliest duckling standards. We love these pretty, ugly styles in a big, hurts-so-good kind of way.
