The new ‘Jimmy’ boot from Native Shoes has to be seen – or more to the point, felt – to be believed, since despite being formidable enough to the most unpleasant weather, it’s ultra light. The boot features a canvas upper attached to a traditional rubber sole that extends to offer superior protection from moisture.
