Luxury Rugged Knee-High Boots

Grenson and Phipps Have Debuted the Sh*Tkickers for Tough Consumers

— December 27, 2021 — Fashion
'Phipps,' the Los Angeles-based global fashion label, has partnered up with Grenson, the British footwear designer, to release a pair of rugged knee-high boots. Titled the 'Grenson X Phipps Brown Sh*Tkickers,' these boots are a stellar combination of luxury style, ruggedness, and quality materials.

The boots feature a suede cuff and a convenient quick-lacing system so the wearer stays comfortable without having to spend a lengthy amount of time lacing each boot. The rubber sole is thick and features a lugged tread, which means this boot is capable of traveling through a variety of environments. On top of this, the side of the boot features a leather panel that is sewn to the boot almost like a pocket. With this leather pocket attachment, the wearer can store small essentials for quick access, such as pepper spray or emergency money, which can both help the wearer stay safe.

The Sh*Tkickers are available at Browns's online store for $1,025 USD.
