One of New York City’s hardest working shoe designers is back with these Ronnie Fieg boots. This project is a collaboration with Caminando. Just a few weeks ago, Fieg released his collaboration with Asics and in the past he’s also worked with Sebago. While it’s his latest, this is not his first collaboration with Caminando, a brand from Tokyo.
While Ronnie Fieg is based in New York City and Caminando is based in Tokyo, these boots were actually made in Mexico. They are essentially officer boots, but designed for more formal occasions. They are colored in all brown and feature a soft nubuck upper section. The sole of these Ronnie Fieg boots looks like it could be wood, but its actually Goodyear welted crepe.
