Chunky boots on their way out?

[bordeauxH]

Hi all! I’m sure you’ve noticed the proliferation of chunky boots from 2019 onwards. Are they on their way out by next winter? Asking as I am considering getting a pair of the row zip boots but don’t want to do so if they’ve got a limited lifespan

Nah, platforms are not only stylish but much desired by people who are vertically challenged, like myself so... I am always wearing a chunky platform. Heck, I want my boots to look like a semi truck's tires and grip like one. If you are living in a place with a lot of snow, they are especially not out of style. I was in Japan a few weeks ago and even during the winter girls are wearing 3 inch platform boots in the snow and keeping perfect balance.
If you do a quick search on SSENSE or Farfetch, boots are still being made to be chunky in their new season lines. So the style is still healthy! (I'll be wearing chunky regardless.)

I second @tfldesign - the chunkier the better, the higher platform the better - for me, my legs don't look right unless I add that 6" chunky platform heel. They will never go out - but it is either your style or it isn't. I would never own a kitten heel, I would look and feel ridiculous!

I'm a huge fan of chunky boots! Not only do they usually have better traction (especially during rainy or snowy weather), but they give a modern edge to any outfit. And because they're heftier in material composition, I feel like I get my moneys' worth.

Shoe trends are always moving fast, buy them if you love them, and serve a purpose! My favorites are a pair of combat boots, which while not on the cutting edge look good and walk well.

Not out, premium designers still making combat boots!

These are my comfort boots. At the airport today and these boots were MADE for walking!

Hermes, Chanel, and Dior at least still have super chunky soles reminiscent of the 1990s

I am not really a chunky boot kind of girl. Proportionally, I have short legs and a long torso. I also have more muscular legs. Chunky shoes and boots can cut my legs off or make them look shorter or stockier, so they're not ideal for me.
I do think they are very cool and fun though.
