Boots

Boots anchor cold weather dressing across tailored trousers and heavy coats, giving every silhouette clear weight and grounding. Sculptural leather and tan suede hold clean lines across black, tan, and grey tones. Deep treads and oiled skins balance sharp tailoring with workwear discipline.

Nathan Clark based the Clarks desert boot on the crepe soled suede boots British officers bought in Cairo, and rude boys in Jamaica made it their own. Guidi grew out of a Tuscan tannery founded in the eighteen nineties and dyes its horse leather boots after they are made. MM6 Maison Margiela adds its Anatomic ankle boots. Dr. Martens put a German doctor's air cushioned sole on an English work boot in the sixties, and skinheads and punks later took it up.

Chelsea boots, ankle boots, and desert boots pair naturally with raw denim or wool trousers. WDLT117 in Toronto carries Guidi's front and back zip boots. Due West in Toronto adds Stutterheim. Utopia brings Adidas, Timberland and Balenciaga, and parlor23 brings Dr. Martens, Timberland and Clarks.
