Mine are pretty much like that, except ankle length and cheaper.
I've been watching stuff. Ein and Hitomi from DoA and Squall wear shoes like that. They've been stealing my style... years before... well, they're ninjas and Squall, they can travel through time.

I'm not wearing the shoes now, though. I'm like the tech Richard Ashcroft... or something. Better Ashcroft than... a guy called Bill!
