Victoria Beckham has come a long way from her Spice Girls days when she was known as Posh Spice and wore tight dresses and corsets. She has since become a successful fashion designer with her own label that showcases her sophisticated and minimalistic style.
She has also experimented with different looks and trends and has shown that she is not afraid to make a statement with her footwear. Whether it is heel-less boots, illuminated trainers, or giant Crocs, Beckham knows how to turn heads and have fun with fashion.
The Gravity-Defying Boots
One of Beckham's most iconic and bizarre fashion choices was the pair of heel-less platforms she wore in September 2008.
She attended the launch of her new perfume at Macy's in New York City, wearing a gray fitted mini dress with black boots that had no heel, designed by Antonio Berardi. The boots looked like they defied gravity, and Beckham managed to walk in them confidently and gracefully.

The Party-Ready Trainers
In 2016, Beckham showed off her playful side when she wore a pair of trainers with a blue and green LED light-up trim. She posted a video on her Instagram, dancing in the dark with the blue and green lights flashing on her feet.
She captioned it: "Saturday night fever." The trainers sparked a frenzy among fans, with many wishing to get their hands on the exact same pair.
The Giant Yellow Crocs
In 2021, the "Never Say Never" singer Justin Bieber gifted Beckham a pair of $60 Crocs from his collaboration with the brand. While she had famously declared she would "rather die" than wear Crocs, Beckham took the lighthearted gesture in stride.
In an Instagram Story, she shared her amusement at the unexpected gift, setting up a poll for her followers to decide whether she should brave the plastic footwear. The response was a clear no, as 57 percent voted against the Crocs. Beckham quipped:
"Well, that was close! I think I'd rather die, but thank you anyway @justinbieber."
But, as fate would have it, Beckham not only wore Crocs but also became the face of the MSCHF x Crocs Big Yellow Boots collaboration in July 2023. The oversized, hole-ridden yellow boots took the spotlight, paired with a black dress that added her own Posh flair to the garish ensemble. As Bieber would say, never say never.
Victoria Beckham's Obsession with Heels
While Beckham may experiment with quirky footwear, she has an unwavering love affair with vertiginous heels. She once claimed that wearing high heels not only boosts her height but also enhances her brainpower. In an interview, she confessed that she couldn't focus when in flat shoes.
Due to her steadfast commitment to towering stilettos, Beckham couldn't even hit the gym because, as she put it, she couldn't bear to be in trainers.
But even the queen of heels occasionally descends from her fashion throne. She admitted that at home with her husband David and their kids, she embraces the comfort of flip-flops. She later said that she couldn't wear heels anymore when she was working and that she preferred simple and comfortable clothes.
Fans Speak Out
Beckham's daring choices often evoke mixed reactions from fans. She was recently spotted out on Madison Avenue in New York City during a shopping spree wearing a striking green dress that turned heads and an oversized pair of heels that seemed too big for her.
Social media erupted with varied opinions, but the focal point of her ensemble, undoubtedly, was the oversized heels. Among the comments, one fan humorously quipped, "Walking on broken heels looks desperate," while another fan, seemingly concerned, pleaded, "Someone please throw her smaller shoes!"

"I dunno how she can walk in those heels on our streets. Magic," expressed a fan. Critics surfaced with comments like, "Just walk normal. You're not some bigger-than-life person." One pointed out, "That walk seems a little off," and another one observed, "Her shoes are too big."
