My latest article in the Financial Times, on luxury hiking boots, was published this weekend.
If you’re interested, the post can be found here.

This, especially the LV boots, is more conspicuous consumption than permanent style. As an Englishman I thoroughly disapprove.
No you’re right, the FT pieces aren’t really Permanent Style. They want fashion and trend pieces, unlike the HTSI columns.
Perhaps I’ll leave those out in future
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.
