Louis Vuitton Is Now Selling A Boot That Looks Like A Human Leg—And Fashion Fans Are Puzzled

The fashion brand is turning heads with their $2,470 'Illusion High Boot' which mimics human legs in socks and high heels.

Fashion brand Louis Vuitton has introduced their interpretation of "clothes that look like other things" with a pair of boots made to look like legs.

Available in ankle-high and knee-high variations, the hand-painted calfskin mimics black heels paired with white socks. They transcend the limits of traditional footwear, offering a twist inspired by the Surrealist art movement.


Beyond the sticker shock ($2,470!!), it's a statement, reflecting the brand's commitment to pushing fashion boundaries and sparking conversations.

At least, that's what they are attempting to do. Social media has seen fashion lovers showing off their new pairs, and the internet responded with typical cynicism and a visceral rejection of the boots.



At first, people called them ugly.

They understood the shoes were intended to create an illusion, but weren't sure they liked it.


Some folks thought the boots might be less fashion and more medical.



There were questions about the boots coming in more than just one pale shade. (They come in two shades.)



There was at least one upside, however.

As the holiday season approaches, people jumped to the obvious reference to A Christmas Story.

Finally, someone said it out loud: What happens when this boot design gets copied?

Louis Vuitton continues to redefine the fashion narrative, and the Illusion Ankle Boot is the latest chapter in their audacious journey.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
