Calling all avant-gardians: strap in and buckle up. Multi-buckle shoes are fit for the daring so wallflowers step aside. I can't deny my lust for these Balmain Uma Buckle Boots ($1,275). Don't you love the simultaneously strong and sexy vibe? If you're brave enough, step loud, step proud.

No matter where you're going, buckle up and enjoy the walk. Buckles have sprouted all over the place on boots: on the front, in the center, on the sides. And they're not all created equal. You'll even notice some experimental boots with stacked buckles. Fab!

Lucky for you Fendi lovers, I found an equally buckle-iscious alternative that's cheaper and way more comfortable!
