Tread Slick Exaggerated-Sole Canvas Boots

Alexander McQueen’s white Tread Slick boots have a rubber toecap for a futuristic riff on vintage basketball trainers from the 1980s. They’re made in Italy from cotton canvas with silver logos on the tongue and back, then set on a chunky ridged sole with the house’s name embossed across the side. Wear them to ground dresses and skirts alike in the warmer months.
