This season’s boots are anything but basic. Think sculptural cut-outs, western-inspired hardware, sheer mesh, and exaggerated silhouettes. Whether you’re drawn to sleek silhouettes, dramatic thigh-highs or something a bit more avant-garde, these footwear pieces make for the ultimate statement piece.

Here are the pairs we have our eyes on.

Valentino Sinead Ankle Boot 

A sleek ankle boot with a pointed toe and contrasting suede toe cap, finished with a light gold metallic stiletto heel and VLogo Signature detail. The mix of smooth nappa and soft suede gives the classic silhouette a rich, directional edge. The sleek and minimalist design makes it perfect for casual looks, and when dressed up, it can work very well for evenings, making it a versatile piece to have in your closet. 

Chloé Azelan thigh-high boot 

Chloé’s Western-inspired thigh-high boot pairs glossy calfskin with a pointed toe, tonal topstitching and a Cuban heel. It features a hand-embroidered fold-over edge, signed with the Chloé logo, giving it a bohemian touch. The design and the leather lends it a vintage quality, a statement piece to be cherished. 

Fendi Count

The Texan-style boots feature a soft shaft that can be worn pulled up or ruched, adjusted with a numbered side buckle as a tribute to the Fendi sisters. Stirrup and metal-ring details at the ankle add a refined harness-like finish. The silhouette is more modern, making it a trendy addition to bring to your wardrobes.

Alaïa Cut-out Knee Boot

Alaïa’s suede knee boots feature cut-outs, creating a sculpted effect. The exposed detailing gives the timeless knee-boot shape a modern, body-conscious edge. It is perfect to bring an added edge to monochromatic looks. 

YSL 77 Boot

The semi-sheer boot in mesh and python features a pointed square toe, covered heel and side zip. The see-through construction and exotic texture make it an after-dark statement with a distinctly YSL attitude. Wear with simple black silhouettes to allow the boots to be the main accent.

Versace Gianni Nappa Knee-High Boots

Versace’s knee-high nappa boots are defined by metallic piping and a bejewelled ring heel featuring 3D Medusa hardware. The pointed silhouette keeps them sleek, while the jewellery-like details ensure they never disappear into an outfit. 

Balenciaga Venom Boot

Balenciaga’s Venom boot reworks the riding boot with waxed suede, an extra-round toe, front gusset and adjustable buckle straps. Its worn-in finish and thick toothed rubber sole give it a rugged, fashion-forward presence.
