Low-rise jeans and micro-minis crawled their way out of Y2K and into our wardrobes, so it comes as no surprise that the boot that defined the early 2010s has finally made a comeback. Worn by Kim K (and basically every other celeb) the boot in question is none other than the Givenchy Shark Lock Boot - and we're kind of obsessed.
The sheath boot has been spotted all over Instagram, flaunted by celebs like Molly-Mae Hague, who wore the actual Givenchy boot, and Tasha Ghouri, who wore a £60 dupe. The unique fold-over design creates the illusion of a trouser draped over a boot, resulting in an edgy elegance that we've never seen before**.** Even Kylie Jenner has jumped on the trend, seen rocking a glittery pink pair of the OG boots.
While the original cost an (eye-watering) £1,695, brands such as Simmi London, Ego and Public Desire have created near-identical lookalikes, helping you jump on the trend without having to file for, ahem, bankruptcy.
Pair the fold-over boots with a micro mini skirt or dress to create the autumn outfit that dreams are made of. Starting at £45, here are the best fold-over boots to shop now.

Last but certainly not least, these might come with a buckle instead of a lock but you can't deny how similar they look to the designer boots. And, they are less than £40. Bargain!
