Toes are been very much in mainstream culture—I mean the Margiela Tabi was once a shoe that inspired strong opinions, and now there’s a knock off of it on Shein. So it should come as no surprise that we are getting crazy with our toes. We actually reported on this back during fashion month, as SRVC and Tory Burch sent down strange little peep toes on their models. Last fashion week, Coperni had these sculptural toe ballet flats. If you’re not disturbing the peace at the function with your toes a little, wyd?
