Louis Vuitton's fake leg boots are the strangest optical illusion of the year

The world of fashion can be intimidating, exclusive and downright confusing at times, but Louis Vuitton's latest release might be the strangest creation I've ever seen. The fashion house has created an optical illusion boot that emulates the look of a high-heeled shoe, for whatever reason that may be (although by the looks of it, it's certainly not for comfort). 

Even high fashion savants on social media have branded the boot as 'creepy' and it's not hard to see why. One thing's for certain, the future of fashion is certainly looking a little dystopian. (For more mind-bending art, take a look at our collection of must-see optical illusions).
