Givenchy’s Shark Pinch Boot is a refined reimagination of the original iconic boot from the couture house.
The Shark Pinch Boot, renamed and reworked by Sarah Burton, is a renewal of one of the most recognisable boots from Givenchy, the Shark Lock, which debuted in 2012.
Preserving the unmistakable boldness of the original shape, the Shark Pinch takes the design in a new direction, embracing the tension between structure, sensuality and female empowerment that is at the heart of the designer’s creative vocabulary.
The new thigh-high design appears on the runway in six variations, from tailoring to evening wear. Finished with the metal ‘pinch’ hardware previously introduced as an accessory component for Givenchy’s bags, each iteration embodies the dynamic fusion of couture skills and feminine confidence.
The boot’s unique double-shank construction delicately embraces the leg while creating a sculptural, fluid and perfectly balanced contour. The boot’s architecture adds depth, structure and sophistication to the contour, elongating the leg and naturally following its movement.
