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

I ve seen people wearing the white ones and the black ones out and about. They are horrible, tacky and look like they are just out wearing their socks. Also they look fake which makes them look even tackier. I hate designer stuff in general though.

I could see David from Schitt’s Creek wearing them - but only in the first few episodes. I think even he’d draw the line by Season 2.

Love the built-in pogo stick!

I really didn’t think any shoes could be as bad as all that until I clicked the link! They are completely ridiculous and it’s cheered me up a lot!

I mean what’s going on with the heels?

Eeeew At the separate toe bits . Bork

On the plus side, that it's a fair whack of vat being raised with each pair.

DD received a black pair from her bf. she was over the moon on our zoom call, I thought she was playing a prank on me!! FUGLY

That's got to be a prop from a film for a demon's foot, surely??? 😂

I currently have a sprained toe and it is cringing just looking at those.

The practical part of me is wondering if being basically socks they're washable because they look like they'll hum within a very few wears and that's without factoring in stepping in dogshit, puddles or the general mank lurking on pavements.

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!

A friend of mine bought some Balenciaga slides and was left with massive blisters where they rubbed so much. They looked like they came from a market stall but were £250! The material was really rough and plasticky. I'd rather wear £5 ones from Primark.

The shoes in the OP look like something that an Olympic sprinter would wear because they're scientifically designed. Either that or shoes that are on prescription to correct posture.

Looks like an accident in a plastic cow pat factory, with added Lego.

@IRememberMySpaceBabe

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

I long for the day someone wears these into my local co-op

They’re along the same (hideous) lines as the £600 YeeZees and I have several minimum wage friends who bought those babies !

I’ve just seen they are being sold as Men’s shoes.

Will be a great birth control measure if they catch on.

Shouldn't have clicked the link, I just know there ugly fuckers are going to stalk me all over the internet now.

so £30 trainers with a £960 stupidity label mark-up

Totally bizarre - anyone who wants vibram fivefingers (toe shoes) is definitely not going to want the weird spring at the back which totally defeats the point of barefoot soles. I have no idea who these are aimed at!

They are Balenciaga. Have you not seen the platform crocs they did a few seasons ago.

No if managed to avoid them 😂😂😂

Some of these responses have really cheered me up 😁😁😁

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Are. They.

Christ on a bike you will have a spring in your step with them bad boys alright.

They give me the creeps!

Now I know what I'm wearing on my feet next Halloween
