Just in time for Christmas, the kings of cool at Pantofola d’Oro have dropped the gift you didn’t know you needed (until now) on the market with their brand new Pantofola d’Oro Superleggera. This is a boot which has the potential to be a real game changer for the Ascoli …

Every now and again a company will make a pair of boots and they will make you think two things. Why? And then, if you’re a certifiable boot loon quickly follow that up with, you know what I kind of want to get a closer look at them, and see what …

It has to be some kind of weird early April Fools joke, right? That was my first thought while looking up the Instagram account of bespoke handmade Italian boot manufacturer Ryal, and discovering that apparently one of my favorite old school craft-boot (like craft-beer but for the boot world) manufacturers …

While everyone and their dog has been wearing …

Under Armour have been making a splash in the boot world over the last 2 years. The company has been aggressive in challenging the major manufacturers by signing up some dynamic young players to sport their boots; I’m thinking specifically of Holland’s Memphis Depay, Switzerland’s Granit Xhaka and Canada’s Janine Beckie of the …

Until recently if you were looking for a pair of Adidas indoor shoes your choices were very limited. However, it seems with the birth of the X, Ace, and Messi lines, Adidas are giving the indoor game the focus it deserves.
