Rockies Mule-Ash Wool-3" block heel $180 |
Outdoor Retailer/SLC
As urban areas increasingly attract outdoor -style consumers-as a place to live and travel to...more multi-tasking on trend footwear/apparel/accessories' labels have been embracing the merge between functional and fashionable.
Woolrich as a company- has a storied American history of wool production...manages to deftly translate that DNA characteristic in on trend women's and men's footwear for Spring 2016-using genuine, archival wool prints-found here and there-on the key trends- open toe booties, block heels (women's) boots-lace-ups+chelsea/chukka and white sneaker soles (men's and women's)....and its own imprint-felt wool footbeds.
Highlights:
|
proof wool is a year round fabric-open toe mule on wood block heel...has hardware eyelet of a homer...bold red cotton laces of a high top sneaker. Fashion look but functional-that durable-treaded rubber outsole-distinguishes the outdoors' heritage. Pure fashion shoe labels rarely have this desirable feature on every day, casual looks. |
