However, fans have voiced their dissenting opinions, expressing disagreement with the brand's assertion. 

Many enthusiasts of the brand have argued that there were other more noteworthy and deserving pieces showcased during the show. 

The unique shoes come in two skin tones and are designed to mimic the lower leg of an actual person. They come with a black high-heeled pump and a white Louis Vuitton sock.

The Illusion High Boots, available in both knee-high and ankle lengths, are produced in Italy and calf leather. These boots feature a convenient side zip that allows for easy fitting by simply peeling it down.

The standout feature of the Illusion High Boots is the meticulously hand-painted "illusion" design, which creates the appearance of a black shoe and ribbed sock adorned with the iconic LV logo.

This artistic touch adds a unique and visually striking element to the boots' overall design.

She affectionately referred to them as the 'ultimate Polly Pocket boots,' drawing a playful comparison to the popular miniature doll toys.

The fashion expert's review garnered significant attention from millions of viewers, but their reactions largely diverged from her enthusiasm.

Many viewers were swift to highlight the eye-watering price of the boots, expressing their disbelief and questioning the justification for such a hefty investment.

Additionally, some viewers criticized the luxury brand, suggesting that they had made a costly mistake with the design and pricing of the boots.

Can you imagine the model who got the phone call to model some footwear for a famous designer house and then stepped into these? One person joked.

They look hideous, but if people are daft enough to buy them who can blame the company for taking their money? The second commented.

They look awful, but some fool will buy them, another said.

Three thousand dollars for that is insane, someone exclaimed.
