We tend to hit Maison Martin Margiela much more on The Carry than we do here on The Shoe Buff. Nevertheless, we just found these latest fall 2011, Italian leather boots from the ‘Maison’.
In a military jackboot style, the upper is covered with a detachable woolen sock. A trend we’d seen on several women’s styles last winter, this is a manly take on the same idea. Indeed the wool is intended as an aesthetic detail as much as it is an insulator. Fastened in place with four pressed snaps, when the sock is removed the boot reveals a soft leather lining.
These days it seems no one can properly predict the weather. Having functionally versatile footwear is always a plus. Available online.
