Big-toe emphasizing shoes are having a moment, conniewang investigates.
While versions of toe-strap sandals are traditional in nearly every warm-weather region around the world, including South Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Africa, the grandfather of the fashion-person big-toe shoe is undoubted the closed-toe Margiela Tabi boot. Born in the late '80s, the Tabi boot is an avant-garde riff on the Japanese tabi sock that is traditionally worn with thong sandals like getas or zōris.
But it’s that obscenity that draws me to big-toe shoes. They provoke like a rude T-shirt — they’re asking for a double-take, a pointed comment, a question about your sanity. After all, these shoes merely shrug at the basic functions of a shoe. In our post-modern fashion landscape where tiny bags hold nothing except your clout, and fancy swimsuits aren’t meant to get wet, big-toe shoes confront what we think we know about shoes.
