# Ankle Cuffs Martin Margiela Shoes By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-02-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-margiela-shoes-ankle-cuffs References: [maisonmartinmargiela](http://www.maisonmartinmargiela.com) We have to call it like we see it. Shorter women, may I suggest you avoid shoes like these with built in ankle accessories. However, for those with [long legs known to turn heads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule), why not give these Masion Martin Margiela creations a try. Perhaps breaking every shoe rule for comfort known to the civilized world (think [open toe, high heel, ankle cuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection)) at least they will ensure you look outstanding. A word of caution: don't be freaked by the website. It looks like it's broken, but that's on purpose. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ankle Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new and stylish ankle accessories that cater to the needs of shorter women, providing both comfort and fashion. - **Open Toe Shoes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create open-toe shoes with ankle cuffs that defy traditional comfort barriers and offer a unique style statement. - **Breaking Shoe Rules:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design shoes that challenge conventional shoe rules and combine elements like open toe, high heel, and ankle cuff for a distinct and outstanding appearance. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate and introduce ankle accessories and unconventional shoe designs to cater to the needs of fashion-forward consumers. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink traditional shoe construction and incorporate ankle cuffs into various shoe styles to provide an avant-garde choice for customers. - **Online Retail Experience:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reinvent online retail platforms to adopt unique website designs that intentionally break conventions, enhancing user engagement and interest. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Collaborative Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Limited Reflective Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabi-broken-mirror.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Feminine Technical Fashion Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtmary-jane.md) - [Distressed Canvas Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loved-to-death.md)
