The viral clip captures the confident wearer sporting these avant-garde shoes, which boast actual rat cages affixed to the heels. Adding to the spectacle, faux rodents can be spotted ensnared within the cages, elevating the shock factor. Janette Ok accompanied the video with a whimsical caption, dubbing it, "If Ratatouille had a fashionable plot twist."

This peculiar footwear choice has ignited a flurry of conversation across social media platforms.

Promptly sparking dialogue among fashion aficionados, the Instagram post became a hub for divergent opinions. Some hailed the daring fashion statement, showering the wearer with praise for her audacity. "I like your personality," remarked one admirer, while another hailed the design as "a friendly fashion statement for the NYC ecosystem."

Yet, amidst the admiration, criticisms emerged.

A faction of social media users condemned the unconventional footwear, citing concerns of animal welfare. "Animal abuse," decried one commenter, questioning the ethics behind promoting such attire. Another voiced bewilderment at the trend, lamenting, "I can’t understand how brainless some human beings can be." Echoing similar sentiments, another commenter quipped, "What I thought animal testing was like."

However, amid the debate, nostalgia also found its place.

One seasoned fashion enthusiast reminisced about similar eccentric footwear they encountered decades ago. "These remind me of shoes I saw long ago (I'm 76!) and instead of cages, they had fishbowls with goldfish in them," they shared, highlighting the cyclical nature of fashion innovation.
