Prada's fall 2013 collection featured clunky, punky creepers with a large platform and a thick heel. Many critiqued the shoes, but as all things Prada do, they quickly became a sensation. It wasn't just because they were particularly novel. The real draw was that they were practical. For the urban woman, they meant that you could survive basically anything! Sleet, snow, rain, nothing mattered because these boots withstood it all and gave you some serious height and tough-girl chops in the process. A full year later, the trend has gone mass. So if you missed out on those Prada boots the first time around, step right up and claim a lug-sole heel of your own.
