A particular long toed style of mens shoe popular in the 50s.

And women's. They are currently to be seen in shoe shops in Europe as a
"new" fashion.

They've been there for a while. Actually, I started seeing them about 3
years ago here in Montreal. Always thought they looked ugly - make the feet
look so weird, and the poor girl always looks like she's going to trip on
the tips and fall flat on her face. There seems to be a little less of them
around this season (thank God!).
