Seventies punk-era London would be scrambling to get their hands on the 2021 edit of the chunky boot trend that has planted itself heavy-footed into our sartorial ambitions.

Best believe that the likes of Debbie Harry, David Bowie, Micheal Hutchence and Joan Jett would have devoured this trend.

While Doc Martins have reigned like supreme gods over the chunky boot hype that has been a mainstay in the wardrobes of artists and creatives, they are no longer the one place to find these striking and durable boots.

These boots have a stocky soul and a thick leather outer layer that can either stop at the ankle or go up to the knee.

The various iterations speak to a different attitude, but one thing will remain: your stride will be powerful.

And nothing quite says anarchy to the patriarchy like a severe and androgynous boot.

This hardcore trend has been stamping its rubber soul onto fashion weeks hottest street style moments, and we have spotted some Aussie influencers who have each imprinted their own take on the trend into their fabulous aesthetics.

The shoes completely elevate the Zimmerman dress, and the way Nawal’s black hijab, black bag and black boots are styled together is cohesive and visually satisfying.
