My 3rd clip from Atomic Blonde and the first part of the "5050" fight.  Interesting choice of boots here. These certainly look exactly like classic Stuart Weitzman 5050's.  But, as I've said, makers, brands and styles are NOT my area of expertise. I've never really minded 5050's and think that they look great from the front. It's just that from the back they don't really look like boots at all, esp when paired with black pants.The 5050's were introduced in 1993 and the movie is set in 1989, so that's not too far off. I've studied parts of this frame by frame (research purposes only) and I think they digitally blurred the soles to obscure the unique signature on the bottom.
I prefer my leather-clad ass kickers to be, if not invulnerable, at least so superior to their opponents they never suffer injury. That is certainly not the style here. However, unlike too many episodes of Supergirl, it never seems like Charlize is just getting pummeled. These are brutal, give-as-good-as-you-get fight scenes. They lean towards the ridiculous, but never enter slap-stick. Thanks to the low-heel of the 5050, stunt boots are never required, but they do slip in some knee pads on occasion.  I didn't noticed until I started my "research."
