Featuring a biker-inspired design, they’re distinguished by multiple buckle details, with straps wrapping around the bootleg, and the signature Miu Miu logo embossed on the heel. Available in two timeless colorways — Black and Cocoa Brown.

While they deliver an effortlessly edgy look, Miu Miu’s boots come with both laces and buckle closures, making them a bit more difficult to slip into.

Finished with a durable rubber sole and a slight 1.3-inch heel, these boots are made for all-day wear, combining comfort with standout style.

Maison Margiela - Tabi Ankle Boots
In 1988, Martin Margiela introduced his now-iconic Tabi boot, drawing inspiration from the traditional Japanese Tabi sock’s distinctive split-toe design. This style has since become a defining design of the brand. The iconic Tabi Ankle Boots are priced at $1,420.
Style
Maison Margiela’s iconic Tabi boots are crafted in soft Nappa leather with the signature Tabi toe detailing – offering avant-garde style while staying true to the Maison’s heritage. Available in a range of colors, from timeless Black and Brown to bold shades like Anisette and Glicine, these boots make a striking statement.
Fit
Margiela’s Tabi Ankle Boots run true to size, though keep in mind that they are only available in full sizes — if you’re between sizes, it’s recommended to size up. Featuring a sleek, slim design and a 3-inch cylindrical heel, these boots seamlessly transition from day to night in comfort. While the unique split-toe style may take a bit of time to get used to, it will soften beautifully with wear, becoming even more comfortable over time.
Prada - Leather Boots
Prada takes a minimalist approach with its new Leather Boots. Priced at $2,050, these sleek boots redefine the classic equestrian style, featuring a bold, chunkier silhouette for a modern twist.
Style
Prada’s Leather Boots seamlessly blend contemporary design with a hint of retro flair, thanks to their squared toe. The clean-cut silhouette is available in classic Black, as well as a distinctive aged-effect Black finish. Instead of the brand’s signature enamel emblem, these boots feature a subtle hot-stamped logo for a more understated look.
Fit
With a leg length of 15.3 inches and a comfortable 2.5-inch heel, Prada’s Leather Boots offer both style and practicality. The durable mono-block rubber sole ensures slip-free confidence, even on the rainiest of days.
