If you thought Miu Miu’s ballet flats were good, just wait until you see the brand’s grungy new boots that emerged during the previous Paris Fashion Week season. Miu Miu’s much-talked-about F/W 22 collection featured the engineer-style boots are the complete and utter opposite of the dainty, pretty flats that hit viral status immediately following last season’s show in February. Made of thick, distressed leather (classic engineer boots are known for this since the material is so durable) and adorned with an array of metal harnesses and buckles, Miu Miu’s boots have quickly become fashion’s next It item.
But Prada’s little-sister brand isn’t the only one getting in on this trend. On the contrary, leather-shoe brands like Frye have long been known for their engineer boots. Others like Jeffrey Campbell, Steve Madden, and Vagabond are, too, making engineer boots a cornerstone of their fall offerings. And they’re unlikely to be the last. Ahead of their full-blown takeover, scroll down to shop the coolest engineer boots on the market right now.
