Move over platforms, wedges are staging a comeback and they have never looked better, especially in the form of boots. This style made a resurgence on the FW22 runways of Givenchy, Stella McCartney, Loewe and most recently, Bottega Veneta featured its rendition in the SS23 collection. 

Be it the knee-high, mid-calf or ankle variation, wedge boots provide more stable support compared to a regular stiletto or a chunky heel. Of course, this makes it a no-brainer as to why we spotted influencers and street style stars rocking them during fashion month. Here’s how you can pull off this boot silhouette, too.
