The latest addition to the Fall Winter collection of the bold shoe company features a rugged style boot with an elongated yet round toe, helping feed a classy look of the men's dress shoe. The boot features two very different textures, and is part of a more mature collection this season. Like the duality of the textures, the opposing refined, yet rugged look of this is handsome and daring. The Maison Martin Margiela two-toned leather boot is great for its versatility as well, going well with anything from skinny jeans, to boot cut pants.
