A year on, but these Balenciaga ankle booties still look just as good. In fact they’re still available at Yoox.com, as of this addition (November 2009).

They were quite popular, being sported to different events by the likes of Dawn Richard, Ciara and Sarah Jessica Parker.

They also came in different variations, one style featured more silver trim on the front.

The heels look far better on, since shadow of the boot softens the look of the wedge sole, either way I’d say my feet would be quite happy in them.

Well “Closed Front Cage Sandals With Ankle Pads” is a bit of mouthful, but boy did these heels make the rounds.

Fondly known as the Lego shoe by Balenciaga, these heels have been likened to everything from the United Colors of Benetton to the Transformers, and, even a reminder of baseball. It’s definintely a love or hate relationship which was revived when Beyoncé wore them while performing at the AMA later on in the year (2007).

I actually like them. The overlapping layers on the back might detract from the heel, but then I’d probably be more likely to wear the black pair, which also came in another variation.

Steve Madden released a replica shoe, which, sorry Steve, (IMO) didn’t quite make the grade.
