With the return of rock star-inspired runways, badass boot designs are making a definite impact on the fashion industry, showing a massive presence on the street as well as the catwalk. From diamond-cut kicks to sparkling motorcycle boots, these daring high tops are turning previously grungy looks into the next style must-have.
From edgy studded styles to rocker-chic combat footwear, badass boots are replacing the dainty styles of the past with a focus on durability and a masculine edge. Pointy heels are being replaced with chunky and heavy designs that dare to be different. A statement piece to any outfit, this fierce footwear is sure to get you noticed if your aim is to stand out from the crowd.
