Odd looking school shoes has Mzansi wondering where their Hogwarts letters are

In other school shoe-related news, Briefly News reported that school shoes are not the most flattering of shoes, to begin with… but they apparently do get worse. One social media user was tripping when they saw a rather oddly shaped pair of Toughees.

A social media user who goes by the handle @thepxshmagazine could not believe his eyes. This high ankle, pointy school shoe gave him straight Hogwarts vibes… he could think of nothing else!

“Are kids going to Hogwarts?”
