Using Swedish Vacchetta leather from residual tannery offcuts, these hiking boots are constructed and made in Italy, where they undergo further processes to get the design’s sleek look. With a vegetable tanning process, the uppers are given their unique coloring and character that makes every pair one-of-a-kind. Apart from leather, these boots utilize matte and hairy suede to give them even more texture and dimension. Vibram Megagrip soles and padded tongue give the hiking boot a further sense of volume and ruggedness. Smaller details like rope laces, heel tabs, and metal eyelets bring the design together. Ideal for rough terrain and urban environments, these are your typical hiking boots. The Andres Boot is available for purchase via Our Legacy’s web store and retail for 590 EUR in either black or brown hues.

When choosing a pair of fun, unique, and rugged shoes, there’s no doubt that cowboy boots have earned the top spot. Although we’ve grown accustomed to seeing cowboy boots in plenty of Western movies, they’re also a modern choice for those seeking a different type of footwear. Far from a prop for dressing up, cowboy boots offer a unique look you can’t get from other boots. However, styling them can be challenging for those new to the footwear choice. Thankfully, cowboy boots have become a go-to for many, meaning there are plenty of new ways to rock your favorite pair in a sophisticated look. The key to styling your cowboy boots is seeking a balance between Western elements and modern pieces, giving you a cohesive outfit you’ll reach for time after time. 
Wear boots under suit pants

Even though cowboy boots may not seem the dressiest shoe, they’re the perfect pair for any elevated look. Instead of the same pair of dress shoes, choose a pair of cowboy boots that blend with your suit pants for a twist on a classic look. Wearing boots with a suit is simple, simply opt for a color that blends in with your suit for a sleek, cohesive look. You’ll want to opt for a shorter heel on your boots to help give you a dressier fit. Choose materials like leather for an elevated shoe that will complement the event. Although short cowboy boots are chic, stick with a taller option with a narrow leg that won’t bulk up underneath your suit pants. To prevent further bulking, looser suit pants will help give you enough space to tuck your boot underneath your pants without a hitch.
