Those looking to level up from their Tabis can now opt for boots with all ten toes. Japanese brands Suicoke and TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist are continuing their fascination with the Vibram FiveFinger look, merging the digit-heavy design with classic black Chelsea boots. The result is a shoe as unhinged as anyone that dares to wear it.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Vibram’s horrific FiveFingers have toed their way into the fashion world. Balenciaga put forward a similar boot, complete with a technical heel, in 2020 to the delight of foot fetishists (and the chagrin of everyone else). Even worse, late last year, Suicoke tapped fellow Japanese brand Midorikawa to debut a pair of nude FiveFingers with toenails. Painted and unpainted versions were available to add to the optical illusion.
