Ronnie Fieg x Quoddy “Maine Woodsman Boots”

This is a very interesting take on the Moccasin boot, I really like the use of materials on this one.  As always Kith bring you quality for your money, I need a pair of these in my collection ASAP.

Featuring ten lacquered eyelets strung together with 72” rawhide laces, the boot provides various lacing options to be styled for any wardrobe and any season. The two-toned colorways feature a fused canvas and leather silhouette with other details including a deerskin bellow tongue to keep out debris and maintain warmth without bulk, a Vibram sole designed expressly for Quoddy and a full handcrafted design. As on all Quoddy shoes, the soles are stitched to the shoe bottom rather than glued so that they maintain flexibility and last longer. The collaborative boots come in two colors of Red and Blue and will be offered in limited editions of 24 pieces per colorway at Kith NYC, Kith BK and online at KithNYC.com. Be the first to grab a pair starting January 6th at 11a.m. EST for $450 USD.

Palladium x Maharishi Tactical Boot

The bottom is Palladium’s traditional one piece molded rubber outsole, but Dri-Lex ® Moisture wicking insole and rubberized Full Grain Leather, high abrasion 2520 denier Ballistic Nylon mixed uppers and 3M reflective thread is woven into the boot take these to a new level.

Supra Fall 2011 Boot Collection

Supra Footwear introduces its new line of boots with two rugged, yet modern interpretations of a classic boot silhouette: The Douglas, and the Skyboot.

The Douglas is a powerful outdoor boot constructed with a waterproof, full-grain leather that ensures your feet remain warm and dry. The boot’s strength is enhanced with heavy gauge stitching, tough metal eyelets, and woven rope laces. The Douglas is built atop a heavy-duty Skywalk® lug outsole for added durability and the interior features a gusseted tongue to keep the weather out, a flexible neoprene lining and neoprene collar.



The Skyboot is inspired by the popular Skytop silhouette, and, like the Douglas, is also built atop a durable Skywalk® lug outsole. The heavy weight moccasin-style stitching around the toe box conveys a traditional boot heritage, while the distinct lines of the Skytop are nicely integrated into the upper pattern. Raw leather laces complement the sturdy eyelets and trim. The gusseted tongue protects the foot from inclement weather, the polyurethane sock liner provides all day cushioning, and the internal tongue “stash pocket” keeps valuables safe and dry.



Overall a strong entrance by Supra into the boot market. It makes totally sense in our opinion. Personally we are not big fans of the Skyboot, but we do really like the Douglas.

For Fall 2011, the Douglas comes in three styles, and the Skyboot comes in five. Supra boots are now available at SUPRA retailers worldwide.

Clarks Original Slate Blue Desert Boot by Ronnie Fieg

Now that spring is here, its time to switch up the footwear, if you're into boots then you'll most likely be switching to a lighter boot, such as the Clark. Here's a special model of the Clark desert boot releasing at the David Z flagship (556 Broadway 212.431.5450) store today, April 8th. This shoe was designed by a friend, Mr.Ronnie Fieg. The shoes will retail for $92 and they're limited to 300 pair. Check out the images below, the shoes are being modeled by our friend Theophilus London.

Tsubo Wexler Brogue Shoes

I think this is a pretty cool concept, when it comes to hard bottom shoes, the major problem I had was comfort. Here is a shoe that combines the comfort of a sneaker with the look of a dress shoe. They are available in black or brown and the retail is $180.

The men's Wexler is for the gentleman with discerning taste that will not sacrifice comfort. A shoe that looks as good with trousers as it does with denim. This modern and smart looking dress casual shoe has a soft premium leather upper, internal heel pad, with leather and dual layer 3D mesh lining to enhance comfort and air circulation. The dual-density PU footbed, leather outsole with rubber pods for added comfort and traction allow this dress casual shoe to feel like a sneaker.

Vane x Sebago Field Exo Boots

Here's two Field Exo Boots from the VANE and Sebago Dark Forrest Collection. The boots come in two colorways, mixing canvas and leather on the upper. The ankle flap can be worn up and down and features a felt lining.

The Sebago Nexus Project – William Yan x Ronnie Fieg

In the final chapter of the Sebago Nexus Project, Ronnie Fieg worked on two boots with blogger William Yan. “The boots are made with very premium leathers. The grey DT boot features a red sole, grey leather laces and amazingly soft grey nubuck sock liners which make it comfortable to wear with or without socks. The Lighthouse boot features very unique Blue Coral and Cadmium Green colored leathers, a navy lace, an off-white dockside sole and a navy leather sock liner.”

Both boots are limited to 48 pairs and released today, December 23rd, at David Z. in store and online

Parker x Loake “Burford” Wingtip Boots

Parker Clothing has joined forces with Loake to work on the “Burford” high top wingtip boot. Unlike in most other cases, they took a less classic approach to the design of the boots, giving them patent leather black uppers and a bright white outer sole. The outcome takes away much of the classic appeal of the boot, making it more street friendly, but also attention seeking. The boots are now available from Dedue.
