Anele Mdoda’s “ugly” winter boots have gone viral again — but this time, they’re topping the fashion trends list…Yep, “Puss in Boots” — as they’ve been nicknamed, are back and ready to take over the world!

And it seems the media personality has had the last laugh about the fashion faux pas after a tweep revealed hat a similar pair of the star’s boots were actually making a fashion statement abroad.

“Boots zika @Anele Ziyi fashion that side,” the tweep said of a picture of a man wearing the hideous-looking footwear.

And of course Anele took the tweet as a compliment, even suggesting that she had predicted the move!

“See how I show you things?”, she responded to the tweep.

These boots were made for walking – and going on tour!

Back in June, the media personality first gave us a glimpse of her bespoke thigh-high boots she had ordered from a shoe designer.

But instead of a sexy pair of shoes which she anticipated, the end product — which took six weeks to create — was laughable to say the least.

A complete case of “what you ordered vs what you received”, if you ask us!

But in a strange turn of events, the boots turned into a hit with the 947 radio presenter’s fans and celebrity friends.

And based off the reception it received, Anele decided not to return the boots and request a refund, but keep them instead…and the rest, they say is history!

Anele and the rest of her 947 team decided to have some fun with the boots, which quickly became a star in their own right.

The meme factory

The radio crew offered a reward to fans to Photoshop the boots into memes and pictures – and the results were hilarious!

Anele even jokingly claimed the boots would ‘go on tour’ – which a number of her celebrity friends took her up on.

Stars like Lasizwe, Khanyi Mbau and Somizi joined in on the fun and posed up a storm in the bold pair of boots!

While we’re not too sure Anele’s boots will necessarily become the next big thing, another footwear trend to look out for are cowboy boots.

Spotted on celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa and Gigi Hadid, cowboy boots of all lengths and colours are all the rage right now!
