Shayk is a huge fan of black leather boots. She’s worn them over the years both off the runway and on. While she often adds combat boots to look up the edgy factor, she’s also been known to slide into other leg-climbing styles. Of her choices, an eye-catching look was one thigh-high pair she wore from Burberry in August 2021 while in Spain.
