These Are Officially the Most Popular Designer Boots of 2020

Sometimes certain Hollywood trends don't end up translating for real shoppers—perhaps a latex dress just doesn't feel right outside of a red carpet event. But in the case of Prada's Pouch-Detailed Leather Lace-Up Boots ($1350), the shoes were not only spotted on a ton of well-dressed A-listers like Rihanna and Bella Hadid, but they also sold like crazy.
How do I know this? Well, the numbers don't lie. Moda Operandi shared with Who What Wear its top 20 best-selling items of the year and the Prada clunkers were the #1 boots on the list. Despite being an investment piece, the shoes enjoyed widespread appeal from both celebrities and shoppers alike—the truest sign of a crossover hit. Scroll down to see how celebs wore the popular boots and browse the rest of Moda Operandi's top 20 best-sellers list of the year.
