When Alexander McQueen says tread sole, it means tread sole. The (aptly-named) Tread boots are fitted with an outrageously, gorgeously, marvelously over-the-top platform tread sole. The rest of the high-leg boot is pretty nice, too – it’s cut from polished leather with a rubber toe cap and lace-up silhouette. The shoes are made for slouchy streetwear-y looks, but tapered/cropped trousers are a must for showing-off purposes.
Headed by Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen continues to reinvent modern femininity with pieces that combine technical expertise with contemporary relevance. From statement dresses, shoes, boots and bags to luxury loungewear and outerwear, classic silhouettes are reimagined with asymmetric cuts and opulent embellishment.
