These shoes feature eight-inch stilettos, and were deliberately designed to be too large for the wearer’s feet. Their soles extended well beyond her heels, and the shoes were only kept in place by the ankle strap. Martin Margiela often toyed with the concept of scale in his work, and he created this style for his 20th-anniversary collection.
