Kanye’s bizarre style choice has sent Twitter into meltdown

Usually it's Kim Kardashian who gets the internet talking with her out-there looks, but her husband Kanye definitely won in the WTF stakes this week.

The star couple are currently in Paris, where Kanye was performing a number of gigs during Fashion Week, and one of their recent appearances sent Twitter into overdrive when Kanye was spotted wearing some very bizarre footwear indeed:

Yes, that is a pair of heeled calf-high boots.

Velvet ones to be exact.

Shudder.

Twitter users were quick to compare Kanye to some of history's notable velvet boot wearers, from movie heroes:
