Most shoes that reach icon status really make a statement: the Saint Laurent Tribute sandal, the Gucci Princetown slipper (with lamb, natch), the Valentino Rockstud. But there is one humble shoe that really made its mark by not saying very much at all. One glorious boot that captured the hearts and wallets of the fashion industry and beyond.
