Clae's ever popular [Hamilton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamilton-khaki-field-auto-the-odyssey) boot got a facelift with a beaming red sole to complement the soft toned leather body. The [Newman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rathbonenewman) model screams spring with its new fire tie dye canvas and bright nylon laces. Another model that deserves a shout out is the Strayhorn; it has a navy blue camo denim upper and is speckled with sky-blue peace signs.
