Red sock brigade


Since our little jaunt to Florence and Milan several trends are emerging and we're seeing them appear more and more on the streets around The Established Man Towers. One of these is the hiking boot, the stablemate of the Ramblers Association no doubt, and something they see less as a fashion object and more for functionality when walking Hadrians wall or drinking tea out of a thermos. But for us we're interested in them as a trend and with a fair few shows in Milan devoted to the great outdoors...D&G, Moncler anyone? Its clear how they complement this slant on men's style for the winter months.

For the fashion-informed those clever gentlemen over at Oki-ni have already cottoned onto the trend and are selling the Norwegian made Avoriaz Mountaineering boots on their site. These are the creme de la creme of the hiking boot world meaning the slightest puddle in Soho and your feet will be dry as a bone.

We're sure a trip to your local Millets might be worth a trip..just avoid all that nylon pac-a-mac rubbish.
