More and more elegant platforms, pumps and boots come with rubber sole. But not just an ordinary rubber sole..
They've got a visibly marked tread, which looks a bit like a chainring. Azzedine Alaia boots are a perfect representation of this new trend.
In practice, this new design provides you with an ideal grip. You'll feel confident and very firm in them. Zero slips or slides even when walking on marbles or tiles.
As far as their design, they rise concerns. Some prefer to keep the division between elegant and casual style. Others feel that such shoes are a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. Stylish upper ads chic to the shoes which, in fact, are very comfy. They prove perfect for various, even less formal occasions.
Many brands have launched shoes in this style quite independently. In Butyk.co.uk you can also find such platforms by DOTS and Vicenza.
