Anime-Inspired Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Manga Footwear

— November 9, 2008 — Fashion
I love these shoes more than pony boots. They are glorious, fairytale-like, massively high, perfectly suited for anime cosplay, totally impractical, and everything a shoe should be in general.

I have overlooked the shoes from Natacha Marro for a while as the brand has a rubbish website (sad but true) that did not inspire me to delve into it. However, when the pixie-toe red Mary Jane shoes popped up in a Google image search I dove straight in.

As you can see I was rewarded with much gloriousness, and from the press section I have discovered where many awesome magazine cover shoes come from.
