These boots evoke visions of space exploration and comic book heroines, while taking on characteristics of all-weather footwear. Marc Jacobs’s ability to stylishly combine disparate influences is a trademark of his aesthetic. As a leader in hip, contemporary fashion, Jacobs’s designs are consistently favored by the young and unerringly trend-conscious.
