Michelle Obama makes a splash with $4,000 designer boots

Michelle Obama’s footwear is causing a fashion frenzy, after the former first lady sported sparkling $4,000 designer boots.

The “Becoming” author stepped out in the eye-catching pair of Balenciaga boots on Wednesday at a Brooklyn stop on her nationwide book tour. Former “Sex and the City” star and fashion designer Sarah Jessica Parker served as the celebrity guest moderator for the chat about Obama’s best-selling memoir.

The gold, thigh-high boots retail for $3,800, and several sizes were sold out or low in stock on at least one site selling them after Obama's appearance.

Multiple fashion gurus and first lady watchers went wild for the lux look:

The current first lady has also drawn attention for her footwear. Last year, Melania Trump's press office slammed the media for focusing on her high heel shoes as she boarded Air Force One to head to Texas to visit areas damaged by Hurricane Harvey.

In a headline, The Mirror called the stiletto-style shoes the "most inappropriate clothes imaginable."

Stephanie Grisham, Trump's communications director, said in a statement to CNN at the time, "It's sad that we have an active and ongoing natural disaster in Texas, and people are worried about her shoes."

Grisham also knocked the press for another instance of homing in on what Trump was sporting on her feet in a CNN op-ed last week, writing, "When Mrs. Trump invited children from a local Boys and Girls club to help plant vegetables in the White House garden, the media chose to focus on the cost of her shirt and the fact that her shoes were clean."

Who cares what kind of shoes a former or current First Lady wears?

She has the worst taste in fashion that I have ever seen.

Her foot looks like a crocodile ready for the kill!

Never saw a woman with such long feet—not sure I worded this properly.

Just speaking my mind and shaking my head.

Did she run the outfit by Barky on the way out the door?
"No dear, that outfit doesn't make you look huge".

True but the story is the fawning reaction.

LOL - yeah you're right. Still, 'star struck' is harmless... and again it's their money - their choice.

... ‘star struck’ is harmless...
______________________
I don’t think it is harmless. The word ‘influencer’ has specific meanings and subtexts.

Of course, this could also just be a very shiny squirrel.

Either way, there is method to this sort of display and the way it is positioned in the media.

Then, I opened the thread and saw that goshawful pic.

I’m surprised the boot company would make those type in men’s sizes.
