Aussies lose it over the return of ‘cringe’ shoe style everyone remembers from 2010: ‘I can’t do this again’

Millennials are in a frenzy over the return of a pair of “Tumblr-famous” boots that peaked in 2011.

The Jeffrey Campbell Lita Boots have made a surprising comeback with the ‘iconic’ black and brown heels.

First released in July 2010, the lace-up shoes feature a 5-inch heel and a 2.5-inch platform at the front, and the style became an instant hit at the time.

News of the release caused a lot of unrest among customers on social media, and opinions are divided.

Fans who want to rock this style can buy them on the brand’s website. There is a wide selection of nostalgic prints, including the American flag, a leopard and even a galaxy print.

Hundreds of people were very happy, because as teenagers they were never allowed to buy the boots.

“I finally have the adult money to buy them!” one person wrote on TikTok.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment so I can heal my inner child that she couldn’t afford,” said another.

The boots were first launched in July 2010 and took the internet by storm

Others who had thrown away their old Lita Boots were happy to finally get their hands on a new pair.

“I fell down the stairs with this!” someone joked.

“I need knee-high litas, Jeffrey,” said another.

“I ironically love them so much that I hated them being popular when I was only 13,” said someone else.

But some were less enthusiastic, wondering why the style was making a comeback.

“Wait… are we into 2010 nostalgia now? I can’t handle this,” said one.

Another added: ‘No, I can’t see this happening again.’

“What!?” wrote a third in shock.
