With everything going wrong on around us and many people currently chilling at home in self-isolation, it made us think, what shoes should go into hibernation and never see the light of day again. We talk about a lot of incredible sneakers but for every 10 great shoes, there are 3 or 4 absolute stinkers!

For every Yeezy Boost 350, there is a Gucci Flashtrek; for every Air Max 97, there is the Balenciaga Zen, let's call these awful creps the Ying to a banging sneakers Yang. So, to save you looking for the worst shoes in the world, we have compiled a list of 8 pairs that look hideous on foot. Let us know on socials what you think the worst shoe ever is and keep it locked to The Sole Supplier for all of the best news and releases from the sneaker community.

We can only describe the Balenciaga Tyrex as a flipper crossed with a mummy. Coming in at a cool £650, these awful shoes come with a squared-off toe and leather all away across the upper.

People complain about getting glue stains on their sneakers but Maison Margiela went against the grain and opted for large dollops of glue all the way across the upper. Rounded off with a pre-warn midsole, these shoes look like someone may have liked them just a bit too much.

We are normally huge fans of everything that Nike does but this VaporMax Gaiter is definitely questionable. Coming with a high sock liner and huge Swooshes on the side walls. The only saving grace is that the upper is removable to reveal the classic VaporMax in all its glory.

Balenciaga Zen

Go down to Sports Direct and cop yourself a pair or two of Lonsdales. You will save yourself hundreds of pounds in the process.

Maison Margiela x Reebok Instapump Fury/Tabi

This hybrid of the classic Tabi boot and the Instapump Fury is the opposite of a site for saw eyes. Sometimes we question what brands are thinking when they produce calamities like this.

Rick Owens x adidas Springblade

Shout out to our new copy-writer Jack for bringing these to my attention, I've been having nightmares ever since.

Gucci Flashtrek

Just because they are Gucci and designed by Alessandro Michele doesn't mean they are good. The gaudy chains and terrible silhouette combine to create one of the ugliest sneakers we can remember.

COMME des GARCONS x Nike Presto "Tent"

This shoe should never of entered someone's consciousness let alone for them to then draw it on a piece of paper, create a prototype and then release it to the wider public! Tinker, we know this is one that you regret.
