Spike shoe trend. . .ouch!

The other day, a friend and I were discussing the recent appearance of spike shoes.  Although the spike shoe trend has been on the runways for the past couple of years, from what I've seen it is just now coming to the forefront (or should I say "store front") of mainstream America. From casual flats to sky high stilettos, spikes are showing up everywhere. . .even on mommy-to-be Jessica Simpson.

In small doses, the spikes do look very chic.  However, I'm certain I'd end up permanently scarring myself so I'll be leaving this trend on the runway.

If you want to get the look but don't have a Louboutin budget, here are some less expensive alternatives.

Dynamo transparent allover spike flats:  $43 at Makemechic.com

  Betsey Johnson Vendeta black leather:  On sale for $134 at Zappos.com

Blue velvet platform ankle bootie:  $69 at Shiekh.com or Shiekh stores 

LLV Gold/Clear platform peep toe stiletto:  On sale for $37 at Shiekh.com or Shiekh stores

Or perhaps a spiked purse is more your style. . . DOUBLE OUCH!!!
