Many have called the grunge boots worn by so many celebrities at the Met ball the "must have accessory of the season." They can have them - maybe I'm just too old but I lived through the grunge era of fashion (interestingly, Marc Jacobs was on the forefront of that) and it was interesting. But there's no need to revisit let alone paired with formal attire.
I think the look is horrible but I'm 43. What do I know? [emoji6]
