Thanks to Offbeat Bride reader Maureen for sending these Skelton Xray Pumps our way just in time for Halloween week!

Maureen explained:

I am obsessed with Halloween and was doing some browsing instead of tending to my grad school homework. Ummmm… these are awesome and wouldn't they be perfect for a Dia de Los Muertos wedding, or just for any super-cool offbeat bride who wants to rock them with her outfit?

Then, while researching that skeleton shoe, I came across these bad boys and just lost it…

Every once and a while I like to drill down into one designer's offerings in these shoe posts — I mean sure, lots of times I cluster by color (yellow! red!), style (boots!), or special need (larger sizes! wide!) but today it's all about one designer: Chinese Laundry.

Figgie Shoes became an offbeat sponsor after they were recommended to us by a reader — Naomi wrote us and said "I love this website and I thought this would be another neat way for an Offbeat Bride to express her quirky side!" And when we clicked over to the website, we went from OMG to OMGer as we looked through all the vibrant custom shoe porn. We just knew that all y'all were gonna love them too.

Keep peeping to not only find out how YOU can get your hands on a pair of custom wedding shoes, but to also get some MAJOR inspiration. Plus, who doesn't love a custom shoe porn overload?

What happens when a nerdy offbeat bride meets an Etsy seller who customizes shoes? You get these amazing Legend of Zelda wedding wedges. Warning: your eyeballs may not be able to take in all the awesomeness without there being permanent damage done.

Hold the freaking phone — here's an awesome way to ad a little spice to your wedding shoes by DIYing your own LED shoe clips. WTFOMGYESWATCHTHIS…

I bought my wedding shoes very early on, and soon became victim to major shoe envy. So I thought, how can I get dream shoes without spending all my money!? It turned out they were just missing some sparkle!

All ya'll readers submitted some awesome photos into the Offbeat Flickr Pool this week. I found an abundance of shoe porn plus a couple of cutie dressed-up pups for this week's Monday Montage.

Ok, yes fine: I have a problem with loud shoes. VERY LOUD SHOES. The more color, the better. The more gape-inducing, the happier I am. For years, I've operated under the theory that if you have loud hair and loud shoes, no one really looks at what's going on between the two — jeans you've been wearing for so many days they're crusted? OMG YOUR SHOES. Loud shoes can play an awesome role on your wedding day, either adding a hint of BLAMMO to an otherwise-traditional outfit, or by acting as a major statement with a shorter, tea-length dress.

And if you're looking for loud? Oh lord, you need to look at Poetic License. These shoes are INSANE, and all in a good way.
