What’s this shoe trend? Medieval jester?

[Checkoutmyshoes]

I do love browsing the latest trends to see what people are wearing but I’m seriously struggling to understand when/how medieval inspired shoes came into fashion. Anybody get this? I can’t decide whether I hate them or not - the Khaite ones seem to be selling out super fast 😂

Khaite boots
Toteme boots

That dress looks like a condom on a deflating penis.

Omg what a picture!

When I saw these I had some sort of medieval song playing in my head (lute)

You can buy it here if that’s your thing. It’ll also be great for Halloween I’m thinking

Pointy boots or shoes like a shrew's nose often get a little ''bend'' in them and can also be a bit of a trip hazard.

🤣

Here for those who can't be bothered to scroll back- pic wouldn't load first time..

Had these in the nineties, but with teetering spike stilettos. They were great for pulling blokes, but my god, the foot pain at the end of the night…

I quite like the Khaite ones.

Like pp, I’ll be glad to move from clompy to something more elegant.

@VenusClapTrap this is what I think of when you said elegant: Gianvito Rossi boots

Though it has a higher heel than I like, they look so elegant and classic to me!

Oh yes. That takes me right back to Red Light Rush on Thursday nights down The Escape.

I love love love a pointy toe (pref not QUITE so lengthy and with one inch heel or similar) so if anyone could point this pleb in the direction of high street versions I will salute them with a lute-accompanied hoppity dance.

Zara 1

Zara 2

Zara 3

Zara 4 slingbacks

Zara 5 mules

I expect full costume and thoroughly researched choreography …

Those Toteme ones look like wetsuit boots to me.

Like these.

The totemes look so flimsy.

I've had some like the man boots I the OPs link. I adored them but they were absolutely crippling to wear.
I've spent dozens of hours in lectures on iconographic sources connected to my field and spent a lot of time just sketching all the amazing shoes.

Omg, very impressive! I just recruited some other peasants and we did a tribute dance to you on the village green but the liege lord took agin us so we’re now in the stocks.

Oh no!

I’ll send him a few barrels of mead. That should get you out. 🍺🍺🍺

My dear medieval sisters. It looks like your prayers have been answered and I have the perfect outfit from Zara to go with your shoes.

Where’s the edit button gone? Anyway I was going to add that it’s also a great Christmas Elf outfit!

Nothing wrong with those boots. 😄 had a couple of pairs and similar shoes in the 90’s and they were very comfortable!
Not so much now, though.

Yeah this one’s a bridge too far for me. Agree that the belt is giving me North Pole.

I liked that dress until I saw your comment, and now I can't unsee this...

Oh good, I already have wetsuit boots so I'll be right in fashion for once.

Bit sweaty for all-day wear though.

The ones without heels look like cycling shoe covers 😂

I had to google that and yes they do but more pointy.

I must say I’m starting to feel quite guilty about giving Khaite and Toteme so much free publicity. I mean what if they come up with more peasant chic at medieval couture prices?

omg theres something about it I love. So weird.
