Last week we pointed out the six shoe styles that are declining in sales, one of them being sock boots. The boot style caught our eye, as just last year data showed that the trend was on the rise and consumers were ready to add the style to their footwear selection. In one quick year, however, the silhouette is already on its way out, according to search platform Lyst. Still, that’s not stopping Victoria Beckham from sporting the sleek style, as you can see below. While the decline in sales is no reason to move the boots to the back of your wardrobe, we’re simply passing along the insight.
As you can see VB demonstrating, the ankle boots still lend an incredibly chic look and make for a great polished black shoe option. Whether you’re curious about how the former Spice Girl, now luxury designer wore the “flunking” boots or are a rebel against the data and looking to buy a pair of sock boots, scroll down to for answers to both inquiries.
