# Heeled Five-Toed Shoes Balenciaga's Five-Toed Shoes Arrive in Bubblegum Pink By Ell Smith | Published 2020-10-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciagas-fivetoed-shoes References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2020/10/balenciaga-five-toe-shoes-socks-heels-vibram-fall-winter-price-release) & [balenciaga](https://www.balenciaga.com/us/all/balenciaga-and-vibram?utm_campaign=9ieob0c66Uo&utm_content=10&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=linkshare&tp=53667) [Balenciaga's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1) five-toed shoes are both quirky and high-end presenting the wearer with something incredibly fun that doesn't take itself too seriously. The first thing about this drop that stands out is the colorway. Arriving in a bubblegum pink hue, this heeled shoe is sure to be the standout piece in any outfit. This heel takes the sock-shoe trend to the next level, offering what appears to be a two-pieced item: the first being the sock, and the second being the base. The reasoning for this is because this drop is a high-fashion iteration of [Vibram's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibramfivefingers) [FiveFingers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-fivefingers-1) shoes, which serve a more technical purpose. This silhouette arrives in a few iterations, including lace-up, and retails for $1,290 USD.
