Those don't look all that different from my size 14s.

I find long pointy shoes threatening and unwholesome. Do not come near me in those, please.

We need a short trendy buzz-feed worthy name for this new trend.

Might I suggest: shoeoblonging

Stupid, pointy elf-shoes have been the norm for years now. It's about time someone took it to the extreme.

Wow, shoes that make you feel like you have MS or other disease that can cause "drop foot". Struggling to not trip, struggling to climb stairs, always having to watch your feet with your eyes because you can't manage them by feel.

Perhaps they could be used to help people learn empathy for the disabled.
