According to an article in the WSJ, Sarah Blakely, the billionaire inventor of Spanx, is now promoting a new product, the Sneex - a cross between a stiletto and a sneaker.  Did anyone have this on their products-I-would-like-to-see bingo card?

No.

People wear sneakers for comfort.  Adding that stiletto heel negates that advantage.  Sara is out in left field this time.

Surprisingly, they're not quite as ugly as I thought they'd be.  Dare I say almost cute??

Whereas her undergarments had cross-generational appeal, this footwear style seems confined to a very specific niche customer base. The mainstream most likely won't migrate to this as the heels will be a no-go for many who wear sneakers for fashion. This doesn't mean the product won't make money, but I can't see Sneex becoming a household name in product lingo as Spanx did.

Not my style at all....  I think SG had something like these on a week or so ago, maybe when she had her TSV??   I specifically remember the host making a big deal out of it.

Bizarre idea.

Hideous & Hilarious.

If Sex and the City were still on I would not be surprised to see Sarah Jessica Parker wearing them.
