- weather_suitability
- Not a wet-weather boot; naked wax-finished calf can spot and darken in rain

Easy on with a rear pull loop and inner zippers
Everyday walking on a cushioned, grippy platform boot
These Rick Owens high-shaft black leather boots pair a cushioned leather insole with an embossed non-skid EVA outer sole, aimed at comfortable walking with steady footing. The thick platform sole features deep molded tread blocks, though the non-skid characterization comes from the product page itself rather than independent testing.[2,3,4]
Styled with the signature wrapped-lace look
The boots can be styled with their signature lace treatment: wide beige flat laces wrapped multiple times around the shaft and crisscrossed over the vamp, finishing in a tied bow at the front with long loose ends. Round black metal D-ring style eyelets and hooks along the vamp and quarter guide the wrapped laces in this look.[3,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Megalace® Mega Tractor Boots Men: Choose this if you want Rick Owens' statement mid-calf boots with a dramatic double-height Mega Tractor platform sole (about 5 cm at the heel) and the signature Megalace pentagram lacing criss-crossing the front. Choose them for industrial grunge-inspired styling with oversized beige laces, black metal D-ring eyelets, an elongated tongue, and inner-leg zippers the brand describes as being for easy fastening, built from calf leather with a cushioned leather insole, non-skid EVA outer sole as described by the retailer, and Italian craftsmanship. Keep in mind the exaggerated, disproportioned platform silhouette is a bold fashion look rather than a conventional boot design, offered in black with EU sizing from 38 to 48.[1,2,3] | Concordians Platform Boots Men: Choose this if you want a bold, androgynous statement boot with dramatic height: a tall black mid-calf boot in calf leather (upper, lining, and footbed) with a 7 cm sculpted wedge platform, a 14 cm heel, and a non-skid jagged outsole. The back pull loop eases them on, and they are made in Italy with a storage box and tote bag included. Note that sizes 40, 41, 42, 43, and 45 are offered, but not 44.[5,6,7] | Geth Megalace® Sneaker Men: Choose this if you want a statement low-top with Rick Owens' maximalist, deconstructed take on the running shoe, built around MEGALACE® criss-crossed wide beige laces and a thick sculpted oversized platform sole in pale cream off-white. It is made in Italy with a 100% cow leather upper, 100% calf leather lining and insole, a padded footbed with leather top cover, and an embossed non-skid EVA outer sole, offered in black in sizes 40 through 46. Note that one wearer found these feel more like leather shoes than sneakers, though expected them to break in easily and form to the foot.[8,9,10,11,12] |
