These cloven toe pumps will make you look twice

Not sure the high heel is beneficial but I’m sure the split toe is. It turns out that the strength of the big toe is important for balance, especially as we get older. I have a friend who swears by the Japanese jika-tabi, split toe boots, which have now become his everyday footgear.

These women’s split toe boots from Nordstrom’s are similar to your pumps:

Split-toe “tabi” shoes are something of a signature for Maison Margiela; they’ve been making them for years and years.

Do an image search for pumps and you’ll mostly get heels. Although I see some ballet flats too.

I’m from the US and was born in the 80’s and always understood pumps to be basic heels. So it’s been in use for a while, at least here.
