Fashionistas have a bone to pig with these pumps.
The $1,100 “Open Toe Révélé Suede Pumps 105mm” from house Valentino Garavani, haute heels made hot thanks to A-listers Tyla and Hailey Bieber, are being roasted on a spit like rotisserie pork by social media naysayers who say the unconventional shoes transform everyday dogs into puffy pig’s feet.
“The perfect shoe to go wee-wee-wee-wee all the way home,” teased a critic, likening the footwear to the popular “This Little Piggy” nursery rhyme, beneath viral footage of a NYC-based influencer modeling the controversial commodities.
Offering toes a sense of topless exposure, the 4.1-inch stilettos come outfitted with a small, transparent strap made of polymer that runs across the vamp — the upper front area of a shoe — creating an exaggerated peek-a-boo effect.
The shoes feature a VLogo Signature accessory with antique-effect brass finish, and are available in colors black, rust and aquamarine in women’s sizes 5 through 12.
Grammy winner Tyla, 24, stomped the sacred staircase of the 2026 Met Gala in the aquamarine numbers last month.
The “Water” chanteuse paired the pumps with a custom Valentino look by Alessandro Michele, comprised of a sheer, crystal-embellished top that led to a bright turquoise skirt with a high slit that allowed the shoes to steal the spotlight.
Hailey Bieber, 29, too, flaunted her tootsies in a pair of the black head-turners while promoting her Rhode beauty line this spring.
Still, despite receiving the “It” girl stamp of approval from the hotshots, virtual vultures across the internet are viciously picking apart the pumps for their swine-like appeal.
“These look like a pig’s hoof,” a faultfinder commented under a video of a content creator trying on the heels, prompting others to compare the woman to TV-famous oinkers such as Miss Piggy and Peppa Pig. Many left photo comments of actual pigs’ feet.
“This is the literal worst shoe I have ever seen in my entire life,” another barked.
“Is your house made of straw, sticks or bricks?” joked a kidder, relating the woman’s feet to those of the main characters in the “Three Little Pigs” fable.
“Not the toe-gina,” wrote another, equating her feet to a vagina.
“Ewwww, a foot taco,” added an equally cheeky criticizer.
“I cannot believe these actually survived production and are out in the wild for purchase,” yelped a separate wisecracker.
“Those are ugly as f- -k,” an unamused cynic spat.
“I’ve literally never been more disgusted by a shoe,” confessed a crank.
The Valentinos, however, are far from the first designer footwear to feel the internet’s fury.
Loewe’s infamous ruffled heels ruffled more than a few feathers upon their 2023 debut, garnering flak from fashion lovers who said the $1,850 shoes — decked out in deflated latex balloons — were perfect for mopping up filthy floors.
The “barely-there” sandals by Mathieu Blazy for Chanel have also earned heaps of hate from shoe fanatics worldwide since hitting the scene in late April 2026.
Giving next-to-nothing in the way of coverage, the heel section of the footwear features a thin platform, with straps that wrap around the ankle — and that’s about it.
Unsurprisingly, cyber whistleblowers had tons to say about the shoeless shoes.
“DON’T piss me off,” wrote an irked onlooker following their premiere.
“Can someone please wear these on the NYC streets and then down into the subway and on the train? Please film feet when you get home, please,” begged another.
One keyboard comedian even coined the look, “a full-frontal foot.”
