Much like her vast song discography, Taylor Swift has a wide fashion range. The superstar is known for dressing in tandem with her current musical era, jumping from homestead lace to sequin mini dresses like it’s nothing. And her recent getup got my Swiftie senses tingling.

Attending the championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, Swift wore a very luxurious 'fit. Her head-to-toe Luis Vuitton look included glitzy jewelry, cozy (yet expensive) essentials, and an oversized zip-front jacket that nearly covered her mini skirt. Though, it was her Super Bowl-ready shoes that caught my attention.

She put a sexy twist on an already edgy style, taking the $1,760 combat boots to new heights. (That was for you, Travis.) Not only are they totally Reputation-coded (BRB while I patiently wait for the re-release), but her footwear boasted eye-catching details, like a soaring heel, chunky sole, and sporty front-lacing.

She’s no stranger to the cool-girl shoe, having worn similar styles for the past two years. And while you’d think only a superstar who performs hours in mountainous footwear could pull off a gigantic boot, you’d be surprised.

Heeled combat boots are surprisingly functional thanks to the thick, grippy sole that supports each step. Many variations offer a round- or almond-shaped front, eliminating smashed and cramped toes. Most notable, though, is the crawling shaft. Unlike open heels, this “tube” structure keeps the foot in place and minimizes the potential of a rolled ankle. Together, these attributes make for a remarkably comfortable experience. 

I own a lookalike pair from Naturalizer and can wear them for hours without pain. Whether I’m trailing the NYC subway stairs or headed to a late-night party, I know I can count on the functional silhouette. But you don’t need this exact style to achieve style success; Guess, Nine West, Michael Kors, and more all offer spot-on options. Each one can be dressed up or down, depending on your desired look.
