A strong contender for the unlikeliest shoe of the summer, biker boots are social media's latest obsession. Chunky, bold and undeniably chic, these boots first caught my attention in January when the Miu Miu biker boots were seen on the likes of Dua Lipa and Rita Ora. Interestingly, this celebrity-led trend has carried on into the warmer months, as stylish people everywhere have been pairing their best spring dresses with their clompiest boots.
Between biker boots and ballet flats, Miu Miu's footwear shows no sign of waning in the popularity stakes – just you try and find a pair of satin pumps in your size. Similarly, these boots sold out despite a price tag of £1,800.

The Miu Miu biker boots have found a mega fan in Dua Lipa.
With the original designer pair from Miu Miu coming in at almost £2,000, it's fair to consider some high street alternatives, of which there are many. There are some great options available, from Free People's biker boots to this pair from Steve Madden, both of which will look great with one of summer's butter yellow dresses.
A stark contrast from our go-to summer sandals, biker boots provide a perfect pairing for flowy summer dresses and skirts in need of a grungy edge. From Jimmy Choo to Bershka, here are the biker boots we're adding to our baskets now.
