These shoes surly make a statement about the lengths that women will go to while trying to capture the height of beauty along with the pain they’re willing to endure to achieve this!
Aside from the fact I'm not sure why the shoes would be "surly," I'm not sure they really make a statement about anything, since they're so far down the slippery slope fallacy it's ridiculous. It's to the point that they completely undermine what high-heeled shoes are supposed to do, forcing her to squat like that. Though I will grant you, they're pretty scary.
I looked at it as performance art and the shoes as wearable art and maybe tweaking love of shoes somewhat. If they're making a statement, I think that it says more about what designers will foist off on the public than what women will endure.
But they really are some scary shoes--that odd gait she has in order to walk. That's like a mini-horror movie right there!
