Miu Miu showcased an unusual footwear aesthetic at its spring 2025 show in Paris on Oct. 1, where models wore a variety of open toe socks with their shoes to create a unique layered look.
The accessory, falling somewhere between sock and leg warmer, was displayed in a variety of colors and lengths, each with the Miu Miu label front and center. Cara Delevingne was one of the models wearing the look, with a gray toeless sock underneath a patent orange slide.
Meanwhile, Hilary Swank wore the gray option with a patent pink version of the slide. Still other iterations of the sock were calf length and paired with high heels. And since they are toeless, they can even be worn with thong sandals, as was also demonstrated on the runway.

The product has caused some confusion amongst the public. @Idservecouture asked on social media, “How do we call these Miu Miu socks that are not socks?” Chiming into the conversation, comments ranged from “Blisters saviors” to “Foot Sleeve” to “Arch warmers.”
“Actually, as someone who gets blisters from wearing sandals, in that area specifically, I can’t wait for this to trend,” one person commented.
Another added, “Perfect for when the sandal scrapes your foot.”
“FAUX, but pronounced as fox so it rhymes with socks,” one person quipped.
As if faux socks and an appearance by Hilary Swank wasn’t enough, Miu Miu offered one last surprise with actor Willem Dafoe closing the show.
The Miu Miu Ready To Wear Spring 2025 as part of Paris Ready to Wear Fashion Week was held at Palais d’Iéna on Oct. 1, the last day of Paris Fashion Week.
