They're a tabi-style shoe, it's a reference to a traditional style of Japanese socks.

Perhaps I should elaborate on what I mean by the latter statement. Even with a lot of options available to them, a lot of younger people interested in fashion will go towards cheaper options, namely fast fashion, rather than engaging with high fashion, whereas in Japan, there's still really an onus for consumers to be original, hence you see students in Japan are more likely to wear high fashion and local labels rather than H&M and similar brands. Even Uniqlo is often seen with some derision among "fashionable" japanese. Whereas in the western world, it's moreso those with an established careers, those in their early 30s and onwards, some in their 20s, that are the consumers of high fashion. Look at the age disparity between the people in japanese streetstyle blogs and magazines like Tune and Drop, and Western sites, look at the difference in what they're wearing as well.

Thanks, I actually appreciate that, and that's a really interesting point you make about the idea of people seeking to defend their own standpoint and projecting themselves onto other people's arguments.
I realize how callous I can be sometimes and I certainly don't know everything, I just have immense personal interest in fashion and just want to engage with it as much as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to give me that advice.
