Milan Fashion Week Street Style Embraces Comfort With Flats and Kitten Heels


More from Footwear News


Milan Fashion Week has come to a close and this season, flats and kitten heels ruled the runway.

At Roberto Cavalli, Emporio Armani, Marni and N. 21, for instance, a wide array of flat styles were showcased. At Attico and Prada, meanwhile, kitten heels continued to trend.

Off the catwalk, similar fashions were spotted on the streets of Milan, with guests attending shows in a range of flats, from loafers to Dr. Marten’s boots.

While sneakers and trainers — from Adidas, Nike and Asics were go-tos — chunky and platform sneakers also had a moment. Interestingly, a Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runner sneaker was spotted in the wild following its original release in summer 2017.

There was also the occasional high heel, and crazy footwear, too, including a pair long hair-like flats, which were reminiscent of Gucci’s goat hair slippers from its fall ’16 collection. We couldn’t miss Rick Owen’s 13mm rivet-detailing platform boots, either.

Others opted for kitten heels in pops of color, including red and orange.

Take a look.
