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

Simon,
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.. The two other models of choice for me are the zermatt,which is fully shearling lined, and the puccini. The leather is incredible which ages beautifully and the design is outstanding.
