These Faux Snake Skin Ugly Shoes From JBF Customs are $1000 Birkenstocks
Alyson Wyers — June 4, 2014 — Fashion
As much as Vogue magazine might try and convince you ugly shoes are in, it will be interesting to see how many people will purchase these $1000 Birkenstocks. Available from JBF Customs, the faux snake skin-featuring footwear is for people who really love the Birkenstock lifestyle.
With celebrity fans like Ashley Olson, these ugly shoes are trying hard to make a comeback. While the long-standing German shoe retailer has made a mark when it comes to hippie chic fashion, it's questionable whether these JBF Customs versions will do well with such a high starting cost point. The clog combined with python is an interesting pair to say the least. According to Instagram, these custom Birks are best matched with fun, wooly socks.
