I ordered boots to wear to my homecoming ball but was horrified by what turned up

MEGA platform heels are trendy right now, but not everyone can pull them off, or know how to walk in them.

One teenager ordered an Amazon dupe for a viral pair of chunky platform boots for her homecoming dance. But she was surprised by what she actually received.

Koi, who goes by the Instagram handle @tanukoi, ordered a knockoff pair of the viral Naked Wolfe platform boots. The brand has multiple similar styles that range anywhere from $300 to $500.

But it seemed that Koi purchased a dupe for the Jade Black Stretch boots that retail for $350.

They have a thick platform over two inches tall, dramatically angular heels nearly 6 inches high, and a stretchy fitted material around the calf.

In one video, she revealed that instead, she ordered Mattiventon mid-calf double platform chunky boots from Amazon for only $68.

I ordered Skims – the sizing makes no sense and feels like merch

But these Amazon dupes were not what she expected.

In another video, Koi recorded herself removing the shoes from the packaging and showing off the side angle of the incredibly high-heeled boots.

A viral voiceover of a man played, saying: “Is this ‘Say Yes to the Dress’? Or say yes to the slut?”

Text on the screen read: “When I order hoco shoes without realizing they have 6 inch heels,” with a crying emoji.

Woman cries after finding her ‘coil’ – then realises what’s really going on

She seemed to believe they were significantly cheaper and shorter than the Naked Wolfe shoes. But the Amazon product description says they have two inch platforms and nearly six inch heels.

Koi showed herself trying on and walking in the skyhigh boots while the man asked again: “Is this say yes to the slut?”

Then after a hesitant step, her ankle gave out and she went crashing down to the ground.

“ANKLES LEFT THE CHAT,” one person commented.

When she attempted to walk, she tumbled and fell downInstagram/@tanukoi

“Idk why and how, but I felt the fall,” one person said empathetically, while another joked: “She literally fell from a 3 story building.”

“Literally help me idek if I can return them,” Koi wrote.

People suggested sanding down the soles of the boots so they wouldn’t slip, putting her weight more on the balls of her feet, and taking long strides for better balance.

One week later, Koi shared her final verdict on the dupes.

“What I think: They’re super cool looking and comfy!! Can be hard to walk in for beginners (me lol) but seriously SO WORTH IT,” she wrote.

However, her clumsiness came out yet again. While dancing on her carpet, she stumbled in the boots and fell down again.

While many people asked for the link to purchase the shoe themselves, some thought they still weren’t worth the price.

“Target has some as well for $40 and with a thicker/a bit smaller heel so they’re really easy to walk in!” one person suggested instead.

Another wrote: “They look like they were $20 on a street market, not almost $70.”
