Luxury fashion house Balenciaga introduces its new boot collection designed for the Winter 2022 season and it is full of captivating looks for the colder times of the year. The new designs stem from gender-breaking ideas and leading the range is the Waders 90mm silhouette.
It is made from a matte black calfskin leather material for a premium feel and notably sits on top of a knife-point stiletto heel. It is made to blend into a feminine pointed toe and has a boot shaft that extends upwards up to the knee section. It has 90mm around the arch and blurs feminine and masculine design languages. There is also the Glove 80mm boot that is made with a black shining soft sheepskin material that has been seen throughout the runways.
