This, especially the LV boots, is more conspicuous consumption than permanent style. As an Englishman I thoroughly disapprove.

There’s also a french company called Heschung that makes fantastic boots. I have a pair of ginkgos which is one of the company’s classics and a fabulous boot that’s works well in the city and for a country walk..
