There is something about this that feels like the uniform of a private school and my female instincts want me to be IN a crowd of people who match like that. It taps some weird FOMO I have. I think this is so brilliant.
Between the runway and the off-runway platform wedges, it was the ultimate "Chloé's BACK!!!" statement. 10/10 way to make the point and honestly far cleverer than what a lot of other brands would do i.e. drown them in logos (yes this show did have huge logo belts but a chunky 70s-invoking platform - or polished 70s gear - is far more of a Chloé signature than any logo)
I also agree with the comment that says it's a nice change from the now-customary ballet flat/loafer/boot axis even if I find that heel height terrifying.
I liked reading this perspective. It was funny for sure, and a real fashion meme moment, but there was something about it that sat wrongly for me. If I was advising my client for the FR and had advance knowledge about this, I would have insisted that they didn't wear them. Idk, I expect they were all paid handsomely to go along with this, in full knowledge, so it all comes down to $$ and clever marketing to make a shoe an 'it' shoe. And it is very clever! To me, what organically becomes popular is more the moment, but that's just me.
I think this also worked so well because the shoe is different than most of the other boots, ballet flats and loafers. It is such a statement shoe that the repetition helped hammer it home.

This is a fabulous explanation thank you. I suspect they’re almost impossible to walk in but they’re very cool.

spot on!! 🌟❣️
Looks like Pat Cleveland next to her and her daughter!
The ‘one woman wearing the caramel thigh-high boots’ was none other than Jerry Hall, the original Chloé girl!
Agreed! I loved this and need some wedges now 🤷🏽♀️
