" Twice a year, designers reveal their latest looks in fashion shows that take place around the world. While the primary purpose is to debut their new lines, many designers take the opportunity to also show off their artistic mastery. From elaborate hats to barely-there shirts, anything goes\u2014including wacky footwear that often brings the best models to their knees, literally (check out this video to see what we mean). We&amp;#039;re not actually sure if &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; people are supposed to wear these, but have a look, anyway, at some of the wildest shoes from the runway. Alexander McQueen              Alexander McQueen&amp;#039;s Spring 2010 &amp;quot;Plato&amp;#039;s Atlantis&amp;quot; collection included these eye-popping stilettos, inspired by his love of scuba diving. Fun fact: These shoes and two other designs from this collection were worn by Lady Gaga in the music video for her hit song &amp;quot;Bad Romance.&amp;quot; Photo by Imaxtree.  Alexander McQueen               These lobster claw\u2013inspired pumps were another extravagant pair of heels from McQueen&amp;#039;s Spring 2010 show. A combination of ballet shoes en pointe and high-high heels, they put style so far above function, it&amp;#039;s hard to believe anyone could walk in them. Photo by Imaxtree. Louis Vuitton              These shoes from Louis Vuitton&amp;#039;s Spring 2010 collection take shearling boots to a whole other level. All we know is that if we got our hands on them, the first thing we&amp;#039;d do is take a pair of shears to them. Photo by Imaxtree. Gabriella Marina Gonzalez  Gabriella Marina Gonzalez featured these beauties in her Spring 2010 collection called &amp;quot;Clothing for the Emotionally Dispossessed.&amp;quot; The theme is right on. It&amp;#039;s hard to imagine how dispossessed (from their center of gravity) the models must&amp;#039;ve felt wobbling down the runway.

Balenciaga              For Balenciaga&amp;#039;s Fall 2010 collection, elements from loafers and oxfords were combined with blocked heels for this avant-garde look. They&amp;#039;re kind of interesting, but can you imagine wearing them on a night out? Neither can we. Photo by Imaxtree. Rodarte   Why should kids get all the fun with flashing lights in their shoes?! Shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood, who collaborated with Rodarte on their Fall 2010 collection, certainly doesn&amp;#039;t think they should, hence this very adult version. Made with stunning artistry, the style looks like something out of Tim Burton&amp;#039;s Alice in Wonderland. Photo by Getty Images. Jean Paul Gaultier               Except for the elf-inspired curled toe, these heels from Gaultier&amp;#039;s 2010 Fall collection actually look pretty wearable. We can definitely see Mrs. Claus sporting these bad boys for a night on the town with Santa. Photo by Imaxtree.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
