These Gucci Winter Boots Are as Fly as They Are Functional

Gucci may be undergoing an eclectic renaissance under Alessandro Michele, but that doesn’t mean that everything he touches has to have a baroque pattern or an embellished buckle. Case in point: these sturdy boots that would look more at home on Jay Z than the waifish men in the brand’s Wes Andersonian ad campaigns.

Riffing on a classic military design, this pair is made in Italy from quality leather and features functional details like grommeted eyelets and a rugged rubber lug sole. And just to make sure you know they’re by Gucci, the house’s identifiable red-and-green web is used on the padded ankle.

So if embroidered bees and fur-lined loafers aren’t your scene (and if they are, more power to you — fashion is about taking risks after all), this is the pair of boots that will still let you get your Gucci fix. Whether worn with your favourite denim or a tucked in pair of joggers, they’re a versatile and stylish choice for the season ahead.
