Luxury fashion house Dior introduces the newest footwear for the Fall 2022 season -- the H-Town sandals are a pair of hiking shoes adorned with technical elements. It arrives in the muted palettes of either a black colorway or a beige colorway for the season.
It is detailed all over with hiking elements and references to a nautical theme. The upper has a makeup of calfskin nubuck that blends together with technical webbing to create a padded design for support during all-day wearing. It is made to easily slide onto the foot with ropes at the forefoot designed to reference that found whilst climbing. It is applied by the vamp's overall structure and also applies to the hiking theme.
