i dont think square toes were made a 'trend' per se, but moreso 'after the fact'.
what i mean is, square toes shoes like kenneth cole and stuff are not really made on an expensive last or outsourced to an artisan/ specialized company making lasts.
it is a cheap simple last that is shelled out and almost looks like a box where it is simple relatively to slap out hundreds of shoes by putting on a top, sides, and front.
this reason being, so easy to make , but since it is so ubiquitous, that poeple just think it is a trend or made it a trend after the fact.
