You've all been there - your chauffeur is holding open the door of your custom snow-outfitted Range Rover and you're about to set foot on the ground - when you suddenly realize that the walkway to your Swiss ski chalet hasn't been shoveled and you're about to ruin your best pair of velvet slip-ons! Well no worries, Louis Vuitton is here to help with the Alpinist ankle boots from the 2014 fall/winter men’s show.
Coming in at nearly $1300, the upper utilizes nubuck and matte calf leather with a contrasting rubber toe cap, and is set atop a treaded rubber outsole. Details include the gunmetal-finish eyelets, removable anatomic insock, and a micromidsole for "enhanced suppleness and comfort."
Are you too supple for Timbs? Do you need something to wear on your way to Valentino's place in Gstaad? Get your own Alpinist boots at your neighborhood Louis Vuitton boutique, or online here.
