Q. Why can't I buy Prada’s footless knee highs anymore, and are there any imitations out there?
-Footloose
A. I’ll admit I didn’t fall for these. While fanciful and truly trendy I don’t think I personally could pull them off, but I applaud the stylish gal that can strut down the street in her pair. I also would rather buy a pair of over the knee Falke cashmere socks for the price tag than pay $50 for the Prada footless knee highs. However, in my quest to help you strut your stuff, I did multiple online searches and even on Ebay they were sold out. I visited the Prada store on Fifth Avenue in New York City and they informed me that they have been completely sold out and impossible to find.
The Prada Version:
For some less than exact imitations you could get crafty and cut out the foot of a pair of knee highs and create your own pair. Or try these Trasparenze Esmerelda Footless Over The Knee Leggings at alexblake.com - just fold down the top to get the look of a sock.
I was just in LA and went to the Prada store in Beverly Hills and thought of your search for the footless knee highs. They said they recently received a shipment. So while everywhere else was sold out you may strike gold by calling LA.
