Genuinely never seen anything like them. Also almost £1000 for a pair of awful red trainers? 🙄🙄🤨🤨

I don't like them and I wouldn't pay £20 for them. However I think they will actually get more buyers at £900 than they would at £20 because people won't be buying them to wear every day, but because they're "collectors' items." Some people just have more money than sense.

You get all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff from designer/luxe fashion labels. They have a very small and niche audience!

I'm not convinced I would wear them if they gave me the £1K everytime I wore them.

Wow. Those are really, really special.

Horrendous and I note the website is called VitKac. Emphasis on the second syllable I think.

Nothing could induce me to wear them. They belong on Star Trek.

^This!!!

Nice one Merryoldgoat! I agree.

What’s the extra weird growth at the back for? Extra bounce? They’re selling him with the vibram sole like it’s something amazing-aren’t all Doc Martens made with vibram soles? Fairly common.

I know people who would buy them 😂

They look like the shoes you would wear as part of a rooster costume

Hilarious! Those are the most hideously overpriced socks ever, even more overpriced than the £600 tweed ones my ex-boss once bought to go shooting in.
DS1 spent an eyewatering amount on a Balenciaga sweatshirt type top that shrunk to half size when washed on a cold woollens, so they'll be single wear socks as well.
Balenciaga makes Primark look like quality!

Absolutely horrendous.

But some people need to find ways to waste their money...

YUK - Imagine walking through dog poo or chewing gum and having entwined around one of the heels.
Or both.

I can't stand any of the balenciaga sock trainers, or any of the knocks offs that have filtered down since they came out, but they are in another league!! Absolutely godawful.

As an aside, has anyone bought from this company?

I've just seen some sandals that I would like to get for DH.

Are they reliable?

No idea, sorry. They're a bit out of my price range 😂😂

I also doubt that my feet would go anywhere near those. Such a shame 🙄🙄😂😂😂

Isn't Balenciaga the latest chav designer of choice..............ahem looking at you, Colleen Rooney .........

They are just ugly, but will obviously sell to certain types of people, who have money to burn,and have bad taste in most things. They might be ok for a pantomime character of some sort though.

FUGLY.......as soon as a "celeb" is seen wearing them primark will be quids in !

Oh my god, a friend of mine was given these by her rich best friend for Christmas. They're BRUTAL!

OMG some people will buy any old shite if its got the right label, they're vile!

Oh man! I bet she didn't know how to react!

Jeezo. They look like something Elon Musk would wear to put the bins out.

Pretty sure she genuinely loves them to be honest...
