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.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
