Impostor Footwear: the Fashion Police cells are absolutely full of it, but what is it, we hear you ask?
Impostor Footwear is exactly what the name suggests: shoes, boots and socks that are all pretending to be something they're not. In other words: impostors. Into this category go the Boots-Pretending-to-Be-Shoes, the Socks-Pretending-to-Be-Boots, and everything in between.
Although some forms of Impostor Footwear can look perfectly fine, the truth is that most Footwear Impostors are also Fashion Criminals, so we've included a Rogue's Gallery of them under the jump, to help you identify the miscreants, should the need arise...

Beware the Footwear Imposters! Don't be taken in by them! And if you do spot something you suspect may be a Footwear Imposter: call The Fashion Police!

Oh noooooo, those first ones are so creepy, they look like mannequin legs!
What were they thinking??? I have to agree with Hannah, the first ones look too plastic, just like orthopedic legs.
I rather like the Stella McCartney ones. Course, that may be comparative merit. I don’t think I’d shell out for them.
wow! the lanvin ones are amazing….i would totally buy those
