Toughen up your new season style with a pair of chunky boots. Whether you're after a pair of Balenciaga-style chunky-soled biker boots or a pair of Grenson-style hiker boots, this year it's all about stepping into the new season in style.
Toughen up your new season style with a pair of chunky boots this year. Whether you're after a pair of Balenciaga-style thick-soled biker boots or a pair of Grenson-esque hiker boots, it's all about stomping into the new season so loudly that everyone can hear you coming a mile off. The chunky boot trend has been around for some time now - and on the AW21 catwalks we even saw the return of welly boots for a second year running. Balmain, Celine and Givenchy - to name just a few - all sent models down the runway wearing chunky boots, so if you're looking to go the extra mile for a little more thud, you know what to do.

Olivia Palermo is also a big fan of the look. Here she is teaming her trusty heavy-duty boots with a floaty dress - perfect for when the weather takes a turn but it's not cold enough for your winter warmers.

And who can forget when Holly Willoughby wore her favourite Grenson Nanette hiker boots most nights when she presented I'm a Celebrity. It might have been a while ago, but these boots have since become a cult-classic amongst the fash pack.
