Inspiration comes in an unlikely form for Celine’s glossy Panton shoe/boots. The four and a half inch heel strangely resembles a horse’s stout hind leg complete with hoof. Think of them as centaur-inspired footwear. As designers become more creative with the heel of their shoes (think Chanel’s recent gun heel and this season’s YSL cage heel), Celine’s strappy version remains decidedly uncomplicated, if curiously equine.
