Melania Trump's Shoes

You Need All Your Fingers and Toes to Count Melania Trump's Most-Talked-About Shoes

When you think of Melania Trump's footwear, the Manolo Blahnik pumps she wore to visit victims of Hurricane Harvey might first come to mind. These shoes take the lead in controversy as far as the FLOTUS's wardrobe goes. But from the time she stepped into the White House at the Inauguration (wearing a pair of powder blue stilettos that matched her Ralph Lauren coat so closely, we couldn't believe it), Melania's been cementing her footprint in designer.

Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin are behind some of her most-talked-about looks, but you might be surprised to learn that Melania also owns Adidas Stan Smiths and Converse sneakers. The question is: does she wear them on the right occasion? Read on to track 18 of Melania's most infamous shoe moments.

12. Melania's Manolo Blahnik "Hurricane Harvey" Heels

Perhaps the most widespread shoe topic was this one: Melania wore black stilettos to visit victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas following the disaster in August 2017. Twitter users called out her insensitivity, since she was on her way to see families who lost all of their belongings in the storm.

Later Manolo Blahnik weighed in on the issue, saying, "I don't think she's insensitive. I think she's working non-stop to make it work — possibly she was just wearing the shoes she left New York in. Yes, I think probably she could have worn Hunter boots but she was wearing what she was wearing."

For a second visit to Texas, Melania wore these snakeskin heels, which sparked just as much backlash as her first pair. Close-ups on her heels made their way around the internet as she boarded Marine One in September 2017.
