The Metamorphosis of Shoes: The Clogs, The Jika-Tabi

Last night I've spotted rather interesting booties on two different people in completely two different settings - at a store and on subway. 

Two different styles. Totally caught my attention. Very unique. Very particular. I'm wondering where they've got them. I should have asked, if I weren't carrying 50 pounds of bookshelves at that moment.

These split-toe and transparent heels booties remind me of the Japanese traditional footwear - Jika-tabi, which I've got as a present from my friend's visit in Tokyo two years ago. While I have them in the 'sneaker kind of style', these are the actual booties. I have a mixed feeling about them. Not sure, if I'd wear this style. You?
My Jika-tabi!

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets.

These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:
