When it comes to the chilly and harsh weather of winter, a good-looking and hard-wearing boot is a must. You can turn to classics, like the ultra-rugged Blundstone or L.L. Bean’s
Gucci's “ankle boot” riffs on the brand’s horsebit loafer, perhaps its most iconic footwear style, reimagining it for the winter reason. That means an ankle-high, rubber-molded silhouette with a water-resistant finish. Then come the luxurious details we associate with Gucci footwear: gold- and silver-tone metal horsebit detailing, a fuzzy shearling interior lining, and a logo-debossed heel. It’s a glossy upgrade to your typical boot—and should you find yourself in a situation where bad weather and a need for semi-formal footwear meet, this one's got you covered.
There is no shortage of stylish and winter-ready footwear options these days. From ultra-technical sneakers to high-design combat boots, dudes have plenty of vastly different styles to pick from. Gucci’s horsebit loafer is in a league of its own, though. (It is the only shoe in the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, after all.) And now, you can wear a riff on the iconic style all winter long.
