Thanks for posting the pic!
I don't see the $1000+ price value given they look like many other sneakers. Guess you feel better psychologically wearing a high fashion brand, even if no one else can tell.
I think the legging things are to trick the eye to look sorta like she's wearing her boots... from a distance.
Gawd I hate those skirts, have ever since she began wearing them. Make her look far bigger than she is.... and dumpy.
