Maybe I should start by saying, I’m not totally sure I like these boots…
At least, I don’t like them for me. The Bottega Veneta Tire and Flash Boots are just too big and chunky for me, personally. But when I see them—and they’re popping up everywhere—I’m always intrigued by the idea. (And I think a lot of people really pull them off, too!) I really like the idea of a black boot with a contrast sole. Even before I realized how many colors they came in, I thought, Ooh what if the sole was pink? Or a light purple? Still, for me, I’d want them to be a little more streamlined. I’d also want them to not cost $1,200.
So, whether you want the look of the Tire and Flash Boots for yourself or are also interested in something similar, but different, here’s what else is out there.
First, the originals. The Tire Boot:
The Flash Boot:
And the others:
