Its a fusion of styles, a brand invested in creating responsive beauty for the femme-identified, gender non-conformist's wardrobe. They've been around for a few years and have become bolder in recent times.

here's a couple of pics:

Early 2013-2015 saw some skirt like culottes and flowing layers - with some dresses. Shoes were like flat loafers and some heels.
2016 went very skirty-dressy - and very fem - putting all the guys into taller stilettos (the penultimate CL Pigalle 120 for some of them!) - likely a bit extreme for guys but my favourites. I don't know what brought the sudden high heel move on - but it happened then all of a sudden.
Since then its toned back again - tunics/dresses and a mixture of heavier shoes and a few stilettos.

Anyway - not something one would wear on the main street - perhaps pieces of the outfits but not the whole thing in general (ok I admit I would wear a few outfits as they are - but not most)
Mind you couture is not something that is intended for normal wear anyway!

ha ha - and a good point!
Some of those pumps are Louboutin Pigalle 120s - so they are about as high as a premium heel can go - and they have no platforms so they a pure high heel shoe. You have to be a dedicated wearer to be good in them - nobody can just put those heels on and wear them well. They are excellent shoes but I know from experience you need to be 'into' heels to handle those babies with style.

Still if they have to just do a few lengths in them - you could be coached for it - but your flexibility in your ankles will not be there to be able to stay upright in those shoes for more than 5-10 minutes without getting the shakes etc...

oops I think I know too much about heels...

Louboutins stop at 41 EU I think - most designer heels stop about there.
I am a 39-40 EU and I am pretty sure my size is around a womens 8-9 - so this must be about a womens 10 it stops at?

These shoes really depend on the heel height/toe for personal size fit - so a stated size can be misleading too

A quick glance and I found nice mules too....
