For paths that are not paved

This boot is built for the outside. The upper turns water away, the sole grips with a deep tread, and the shaft rises over the ankle. On a field path, through a wood or across wet ground, the foot stays where it is put instead of sliding.

Design Highlights

The surface of the upper lets rain run off it rather than soaking in, which keeps the foot dry through a long walk in wet weather. The tread underneath is cut deep and carries cleats that bite into soft ground, and the rubber runs up at the heel so the boot holds when the foot lands on a slope. The shaft rises over the ankle and holds it steady on uneven ground, while the lacing reaches far enough up to lock the foot back into the heel. The whole boot is kept firmly built without adding weight where it is not needed.

How to Style It

With walking trousers and a weatherproof jacket it is ready for the hill. With jeans and a heavy knit it becomes the boot for a cold weekend in the country. Keep the trouser hem narrow enough to sit over the shaft, and let the tread take care of the ground.
