Balenciaga under fire for selling rain boots for this much...

Criticism is raining on Balenciaga's rain boots. Quite literally! Well, we are talking about this as they are selling rain boots for $1,000 (₹83,132).

Other than this, the luxury brand is calling it a special type of boot for men. It's made of a material called polyurethane and is designed to fit wider calf muscles. The boot has a unique shape with a pointy toe and the brand name "Balenciaga" written in white letters on the black shoe. You can buy this boot for $1,165 (₹96,853) online.

Several internet users are reacting to this and are saying that it is a total waste of money. It is worth noting that this is not the first time when Balenciaga received massive backlash for selling their items at an expensive price. Earlier, they sold torn and worn-out clothes for hundreds and thousands of dollars.
