On my radar: Work boots with a little bit extra…
It’s good to see utilitarian looks being given a bit of extra snazz. Joe Casely-Hayford has revived the John Moore Paragon boot (cult 80s-90s work boot with commando sole and assorted rugged straps), introducing a 12-hole version. I have the originals which get many admiring glances but the Casely-Hayfords (below) are sadly only for guys at this stage. (Read the John Moore story over at Style Salvage.)
Meanwhile, JW Anderson’s heavy metal-adorned work boots (below) are accompanied by an equally hefty studded sock. I think these are mens too but I believe there may be smaller sizes available. I’m seeing these juxtaposed with khaki army surplus trousers (khaki and red, mmmmm) and a silk bourgeois blouse or Equipment shirt. Shoe designers: let’s have more of these in lady sizes please…

Hallo,
These type of boots are really going to add a masculine feel to a floral dress. I think they'd also look incredible with a maxi dress/skirt, to give that juxtaposition every outfit needs!

Please send me the link to whatever website the red shoes by JW Anderson are/were being sold at. I found a photo on Pinterest and tracked them down to here after a few hours, and cannot find the website. At this point I genuinely don’t care if they’re fully sold out I just want to know who sold these to keep them on my radar of fashion in general. My email is [email protected] thank you
