It's getting wet, it's getting cold, it's getting to be about that time when a good, sturdy pair of boots finds their way onto your feet at least five times a week. Viberg has recently made some interesting versions of their classic hikers which could definitely handle that usage. The first comes in a new brown harness leather that's got a great vintage look to it and goes nicely with the classic yellow boot laces and black Vibram Carrarmato sole. The other is a special make-up exclusive to Japan's Barley Harvest Season. While it comes in the familiar chocolate roughout leather, it sit atop an unfamiliar ripple sole. The unexpected change really doesn't alter the overall silhouette or profile of the boot all that much though and offers something unique.

Nepenthes Hathorn Boot

It's been almost a year since we first mentioned these boots from Nepenthes but they're back. This time around in a beautiful smooth leather. I don't know what it is about deep chestnut brown coloured leather on footwear but it has me swooning every time. I've always been a fan of the Hathorn thanks to it's simple three-piece upper and sleek silhouette and I've been entertaining the thought of a lower cut boot more and more lately. I think combined with the classic Vibram sole the smooth oxford boot has a great contrast about it that can be worn across any number of different styles. The gold eyelets and multi-coloured laces offer that much more detail. Taking inspiration from a certain 100 poster around here, I think with some cropped pants and  maybe even a pair of Fair Isle socks you'd be well on your way to a great looking autumn look.
