Gentleman's boots with grace and temperature should be the only one.

By 1 month, some northern friends may have forgotten what to wear when going out, such as coats, long down jackets and thick cotton underwear. As long as you can keep warm.

Although southerners still have to endure the magical injury of wet and cold, as long as they follow the scientific overlapping levels of outer windproof, middle warmth and inner soaking, it is not too much problem to give consideration to grace and temperature.

In any case, if you want to embrace warmth in winter, you should not be careless in the choice of shoes besides worrying about clothes.

As a Cantonese, I feel deeply malicious in this respect every year. Whenever the wet and cold air strikes, it is not my trunk that makes me feel cold, but my hands and feet.

Especially my feet and hands, I can wear gloves even if it is cold, but I can't wear more shoes ... So naturally, helping boots above my ankles has become one of my life-saving prescriptions.

The desert boots, polo boots and ankle boots introduced a while ago are not much warmer than low-top shoes, while Chelsea boots and tooling boots can't satisfy the occasional obsession with exquisiteness despite the high-top blessing.

After some reflection, a boot that can cover almost all scenes and can be accurately "patched" according to seasonal needs comes to my mind.

These are Barmor Lehrer boots.

See if the front foot, the lines of formal shoes and the ankle-high uppers fully meet all the requirements I mentioned above about winter boots. Both warmth and exquisiteness.

Many people may be unfamiliar with the name Balmoral Boot, but when you hear another name-Oxford shoes, you will be able to instantly agree: harm, isn't it the high-top model of Oxford shoes? What are you confused about here? ...

Yes, it can be said that it is a kind of Oxford boots, but both the changeable style design and the hidden historical background seem to be telling that only perceptual knowledge can best touch the charming background of Barmor Lear boots.

The reason why Balmoral Boot contains the prefix "Balmoral" is closely related to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

As early as the middle of19th century, the couple bought the Balmoral Castle in Aberdeen, Scotland as a private residence of the royal family with a wave of their hands.

Although the highland scenery is beautiful, the swamp around the manor is really painful, which prompted Prince Albert to have a whim and want to find a pair of walking boots that can not only take samples indoors, but also walk freely in the outdoor swamp, not afraid of soil and moisture.

In this way, Prince Albert's "tool shoes"-Barmore Le boots came into being.

Ba Maw Lear boots, which have certain waterproof function, can protect your feet from wet and muddy when walking in the manor, and their face value can also satisfy the discerning eyes of players of this style.

It is said that Queen Victoria was quite greedy later, so she immediately ordered several pairs of boots of the same style for herself, and often wore them to wander around Lerner Manor in Barmore with her husband. The name of the castle "Barmor Lear" naturally became the style card of these boots, which has been passed down to this day.

According to international practice, aristocratic gentlemen certainly don't want to fall behind when they see that the Fuehrer has something new. Everyone quickly wiped the Queen and Prince with the same paragraph to show the inflow, and the exposure rate of Barmor Ler boots also rose with it, which was the same for a while.

Seeing this, some people may ask, this is originally a country-oriented boot. Why did it become a formal configuration in that era of strict standards?

This may really be attributed to the almost identical design with Oxford shoes to a great extent. Closed lacing is more serious and complete than Bidby. With the stitching transverse to the throat of the shoe extending all the way to the upper of the boot, the lines are smooth and delicate, which easily reminds people of the sense of style that matches the formal dress.

For example, when standing in Balmoral Boot, it looks like a pair of Oxford shoes with completely broken/semi-broken trouser legs drooping naturally.

In addition, Prince Albert's original starting point is also suitable for indoor scenes. Later, both men and women, Balmoral Boot was once regarded as a dress shoe that matched the city work suit and dressing gown during the day, just like Oxford shoes.

The classic Barmor Lear boots are mostly low-heeled round toe last and smooth leather sole, and the most notable feature is that they have 6-9 more holes than Oxford shoes, and the part above the throat seam.

Because in addition to the overall style of the same color and material, there will be splicing designs of different materials, such as suede, linen and even wool and tartan. In sharp contrast to the lining and smooth leather at the lower part.

This is why I would say that Balmoral Boot can accurately "patch" according to the seasonal demand, because if they want to continue to wear boots in relatively hot weather or environment, they will also choose the design of stitching linen on the upper.

Formally speaking, the highest is of course the plain face of the same fabric on the upper and lower parts, or the three-section dark glossy Oxford boots.

It is no problem to wear worsted professional clothes to attend high-standard banquets, conferences and business occasions, even more formal than Chelsea boots; When you sit down and walk to reveal the vamp, don't say that the insiders think it is exquisite enough, and even the outsiders admire this exquisite style.

The smart and casual style of ordinary daily commuting, even a little carving ornament like Wing-tip and 1/4 Brock, is an appropriate choice to show personal taste without being too exaggerated.

In particular, the suede style, which is unified from top to bottom, can be matched with suits with the same texture as winter tweed, corduroy, flannel, etc. as a level echo to enhance the completion of modeling.

Wait, does that mean that a low-key man show man can only choose boots with the same upper and lower materials?

I don't think so, because based on the texture, luster and color difference of the upper stitching fabric, it will also collide with the lower layer to produce different visual effects.

For example, the upper and lower parts of boots have the same color but different materials, or the same leather with almost the same color. In fact, the final effect will not be too strong (at least it can be competent for business and leisure modeling).

Of course, if you are a player who prefers man show or loves country /mix style, the strong contrast of stitching+Brock carving/suede style can undoubtedly add more fun to the modeling.

The configuration with certain functions, such as double soles and Norwegian seams, can maximize the rough atmosphere of outdoor and weaken the sense of style of boots.

Whether it is a suit with tweed and flannel, or a casual item made of khaki pants and tannin, these bright elements are a harmonious and powerful tool to enhance personal style. You can choose the corresponding combination according to your needs.

If you also want to find a pair of gentleman boots that can not only expand the daily shoe cabinet, but also take care of leisure and leisure, then this niche Balmoral Boot will definitely meet your orientation.
