Kim Kardashian sat in the stands to watch a match between Real Madrid and Real Valladolid at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium yesterday in Madrid. Structural and sleek, the reality star sported a pair of jet-black sock boots.
A favorite of Kardashian’s, the style featured striking pointed toes, breathable cloth uppers and 2 to 3-inch stiletto heels. The shoe offers the illusion of length and height, fully encompassing the wearer’s feet, blanketing them in sleek fabric. Kardashian can usually be found in sock boot styles from Balenciaga.
The construction is meant to mimic the look of a boot, given the sharp pointed toes and the ultra-thin stiletto heels. Both Jenner and Kardashian alike have gravitated toward the sock boot style on numerous occasions. The look is futuristic and minimal, harkening back to the subversive basics trend that took over the footwear and fashion landscapes back in 2021.

Many brands, both inexpensive and high-end, have carried sock boot styles since they burst onto the scene. Balenciaga, Aldo, Givenchy, Jil Sanders, Asos and Bottega Veneta. Although they were most popular back in 2018, the silhouette has had a major comeback within the past few years, thanks to people like Kardashian.
Casual and comfy, Kardashian wore a form-fitted black bodysuit, likely from her own brand Skims, accompanied by baggy gray sweats fixed with structural motocross-inspired detailing hailing from Balenciaga. On the accessories front, the star sported a black Yankees baseball cap with white logo detailing.
Kardashian is known for wearing bold outfits from a wide array of top brands, including Balmain, Balenciaga, Maison Margiela and Mugler. The former “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star‘s shoes are equally daring and trendy, ranging from towering Rick Owens platform boots to Yeezy sneakers.
For more formal occasions, Kardashian also slips on new and vintage heels from labels including Prada, Manolo Blahnik and Merah Vodianova.
