Global interest in luxury fashion brands often leads to people admiring and coveting their products. Some of these products are captivating, while others leave people baffled with their design choices. For example, Alexander McQueen’s recently released hoof boots have been garnering attention on the Internet. The shoes are priced at a steep $2,990, but… ₹The Rs 25 lakh design failed to impress a few, but it did grab attention as many said the design had the potential to become iconic.
The hoof boots, part of the brand’s fall/winter collection, have a horse-girl aesthetic. Yes, you read that right: the brown “calf-hair boots feature a hoof-inspired rounded toe and horse-shoe sole silhouette, as well as nail studs with a silver finish.” (Also read: Louis Vuitton’s Latest Boots Criticized on Social Media: “To Clear Sidewalks?”)

A third posted: “Model in horseshoe boots. Riding a horse. Groundbreaking.”
A fourth added: “The new shoes will be a symbolic chapter for the brand.”
“When you have the most honourable and terrifying task of designing under the name of a great designer like Alexander McQueen, embrace it and be generous. No one can ever take the OG’s place. Sean McGurr, stay strong and true to yourself! Love what you do,” commented Instagram user Jamie Stewart.
“I love this,” said another.
