# Two-Toned Hiking Boots The Lanvin Tall Hiking Boot is a Rugged Look for the French Brand By Felicia Moursalien | Published 2011-12-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanvin-tall-hiking-boot References: [slamxhype](http://slamxhype.com/fashion/footwear/lanvin-tall-hiking-boot/) & [lanvin](http://www.lanvin.com/e-lanvin/INT/men/) The French high fashion brand [Lanvin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanvin-en-bleu) is taking its own approach to [practical footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-projects-hiking-boots) with the Lanvin Tall Hiking boot. The boot has all the traditional characteristics of a hiking boot with the thick sole, rounded toe and five prong laces, but Lanvin has done much to distinguish this item stylistically as well with a “double crossover plastic wrap covering the lacing system as well as a lizard trim contrast on the rubber lug sole,” as described on Slamxhype. The Lanvin Tall Hiking boot is part of the Fall/Winter 2011 collection. This is a great addition to men’s footwear especially in a market so saturated by similar looking pieces. Like the [Maison Martin Margiela Two-Toned Leather boot](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-margiela-two-toned-leather-boot), this boot has gone a different route to the class boot and added its own two tones with the added strap for more flavor. This boot is practical and a rugged approach to their classic boot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Rugged Fashion Footwear:** Combining traditional footwear with unique highlight materials and designs to add a new flair and function to men's footwear - **Two-toned Boot Designs:** Adding multiple color or material elements to boots to create a unique and interesting look - **Hiking-inspired Fashion:** Creating fashionable shoes and accessories inspired by traditional hiking equipment and materials ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion & Apparel:** Opportunities to create unique and durable designs that combine style and practicality for outdoor or fashion-focused consumers - **Footwear:** Innovation opportunities to combine traditional footwear aspects with a modern or unique twist, such as color combinations or material choices - **Outdoor and Adventure Gear:** Opportunities to create fashion-forward accessories inspired by traditional hiking and outdoor equipment, making them trendier for everyday use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High Fashion Workwear Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-and-timberland.md) - [Mohair-Laced Luxe Ski Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-boot-1.md) - [Premium Technical Rugged Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hike-sneaker.md) - [Luxury Sneaker-Like Snow Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-lv-trainer-snow-boot.md) - [Revamped Luxury Leather Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-waterproof-luxe-boot.md) - [Tonal Performance Hiking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salomon-xa-pro-3d-la-yaute.md) - [Minimalist Fashion Hiking Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-projects-hiking-boots.md) - [Euro-Inspired Hiking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apww01-padmore-barnes-sport-boot.md) - [Fire-Resistant Hiker Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-x-danner-light-ii.md)
