It’s probably fair to say, at this point, your winter isn’t likely to consist of the chilly bar-hopping nights and the muddy festivals that we’ve all come to embrace the colder side of the Australian year for. Instead, we’re going to have to take a more minimalist approach to things.
As anyone who’s been on a bushwalk or a simple stroll around the block will tell you, 2020 is going to go down as the year when everything stopped, but as a result, everyone started getting outdoors once more. And while that certainly makes for a convincing argument that you should be getting your sneaker and athleisure games up to scratch, this also means that it’s high time to invest in a good all-round boot to see you through more rugged terrain.
An increasing number of slick men’s shoe brands like Deimme and Urge are now joining their long-time outdoorsy counterparts in brands like Timberland and Dr Martens in crafting boots that have the rugged build and attention to detail that’ll see you down just about any trail.
