It’s rare to use the words cute, chunky and comfy all in the same sentence. Call it the perfect trifecta because the Kimberly ankle boots perfectly mash up all three features fabulously.
The L.K. Bennett Kimberly Black Platform Ankle Boots are the solution to adding a bit of height while staying comfortable — and trendy! One of the most problematic parts about wearing stiletto-like sandals or heels is the simple fact our feet ache in pain for days to follow. While our feet will never understand why they suddenly start to hurt, our brains surely do! When it comes to shoes with thin heels, they lack the necessary support our feet need.
But these sleek L.K. Bennett stunners don’t sacrifice style for comfort because these well-crafted platforms are nothing short of an ideal solution.
Crafted from Nappa stretch leather, the super-soft material is just as comfortable as it looks. The chunky, thick sole is the ultimate two-in-one. Besides giving an added element of edge, the platform sole actually works double-duty to provide the necessary support our feet actually needs. It goes without saying that when it comes to these ankle boots, we’ll definitely be on trend and strutting in style.
With a total resurgence of all things ’90s on the up-and-up, there surely is no other era to follow when looking to style these perfect platforms. In fact, when executing an ensemble to perfection that reflects the period where grunge reigned supreme, the avenues are endless for styling.
