Style on Trial: Yves Saint Laurent cage boots
These boots probably won’t be new to most of you. We saw them on the catwalk a few short months ago, and now here they are, ready to buy for the not-exactly-bargain price of 1,100 euros. What would your feet have to do to make you want to throw them into a cage, though, we wonder? What could possibly be so bad that you’d want to see them behind bars?
Or maybe you love these? Maybe you find them “quirky” and “creative” and … well, insert your word of choice here. Do you? What do you think of these Yves Saint Laurent boots? Fashion crime, or simply divine?
I don’t mind them, I think they are sorta cool…
I like the idea of the heel but the rest of it is a little much for me.
I agree with Gokarm here – I like the ideas of the heel but the rest, uck, no.
I can so imagine my toes getting stuck in the cage holes. Ow. Also, the heel doesn’t look very stable. I’d be scared it would crush as I was walking.
I loved them on the runway and I still love them now. I honestly wish they were in my budget.
I’d wear them!
Urgh… it’s like a trellis but for your feet!
Very funky for a summer evening …’course, your friends would have to buy your drinks because you’d have NOTHING in your wallet. Sheesh!
I think they’re OK. And the heel looks like it’s given extra strength by the central strut.
I love the whole thing as a lovely art piece!
No need to throw them in jail. They already are a jail for your feet! Hideous.
No… just… NO! Has anyone noticed they have a peep toe as well?
They’re quite interesting. But I think I’d have to go with Gokarm on this one – the heel would add a very unique twist to an otherwise ‘normal’ looking shoe, but this is a bit much.
I am in love with them. super hawt
THEY LOOK REALLY UNCCOMFORTABLE AND LIKE THEY’D GIVE U BLISTERS!
I like them!
I LOVE THEM! I WANT THEM! I MUST HAVE THEM!
I would be trilled to stuff little piggys into the heels.
