While every fall season brings about remixed boot collaborations, there is nothing like a classic fall boot. Whether you’re reaching for a Chelsea boot or an ankle boot, the options are endless for your quintessential fall footwear. The decision might’ve gotten easier thanks to Oak Street and Billy Reid. In their most recent collaboration, the two brands have banded together to create the ultimate fall boot, inspired by WWI Army boots. With this trench boot, both companies have mixed classic details with modern touches to create a shoe option you’ll reach for year after year.

Donning a classic boot silhouette, the collaborative trench boot is about keeping the details simple and timeless. Featuring Goodyear welt construction, calfskin vamp lining, a partially structured toe, and a hand-lasted storm welt, this boot is complete with the highest quality of craftsmanship. The finishing touches include antique brass eyelets and Billy Reid’s signature grosgrain ribbon. Available in a rich tobacco tone, this boot isn’t flashy, making it a unique shoe in the modern era. Like most rugged boots, this trench boot will need some time to break in, but can equally withstand any situation.

With plenty of references to the past, there’s no doubt this trench boot will last generations in your closet. Although there are plenty of boots to choose from, those looking to add this style to their closet will need to act fast as this limited edition shoe is expected to sell out quickly. Available via Billy Reid, these trench boots retail at $548 and are a truly worthy investment.

Wolverine’s newest heritage boot is one to remember (especially if you love bourbon)

Wolverine's newest bourbon-inspired boot

Although mixing bourbon and footwear seems farfetched, two brands know how to do it. Wolverine and Old Rip Van Winkle are no strangers in combining their respective branding to create one-of-a-kind pieces that become instant classics. In their fourth collaboration together, Wolverine joined forces with the distillery to create a new work boot that’s as rich and decadent as their bourbon. Although design-wise, the boot is a refresh of the Wolverine 1000 mile collection, its distinct color and detailed accents are a breath of newness to a traditional boot. Combining the quality of Wolverine with the distinct bourbon color of Old Rip Van Winkle Bourbon, this boot is a tasty addition to your closet.

One of the most significant nods to Old Rip Van Winkle’s famed bourbon comes in this new collaboration’s colorway. As Wolverine points out, the boot’s hue is “inspired by the rich caramel and wood notes of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year…,” making the color as rare and unique as its muse. What makes this tone even more unique is the patina the leather will develop over time and use, making each pair unique to its owner and their journey. Making this collaboration even more personal is the unique identification of each boot marked on its woven label. As a limited edition item, each pair will come with its number, giving you the sense of a custom product. On the bottom, the new boot comes with Wolverine’s 1000 mile classic wedge sole and identifiable comfort.
