Big toe shoes are latest fashion trend causing a stir - and they're so strange

We're used to seeing people with their toes out during summer, wearing flip flops or sandals.

But apparently there's a new footwear trend that sees women wearing shoes that reveal just one of their toes - and it's the big one.

A French street wear label has caused a stir among fashion fans after revealing their bizarre 'open toe' shoe, which like most bizarre items of clothing, doesn't come cheap.

The shoes are selling for around $1,000 (£820) a pair and appear to have been inspired by an old Céline design that saw the big toe covered up and all the others exposed.

Y/Project initially launched the unique shoe as part of their Spring Summer 2018 collection, but they've proved so popular they were spotted on the catwalk once again this year.

Designers such as Glenn Martens have been pairing their clothes with the quirky shoes.

Many of the styles have already sold out online, but there are a couple of pairs still available, with a white leather rosebud pair selling on Stylebop for a whopping $985.

Similarly the site has a plain black pair which have been reduced to $572.

This isn't the first time Y/Project have hit the headlines for creating a controversial garment.

The brand, which is often worn by the Kardashians and Gigi Hadid, has been known to sell crotchless jeans, earrings that look like slinky toys and they even had a collaboration with Ugg which saw them make thigh-high versions of the classic boots.
