In our quest to find the ultimate city boot we’ve come up with a few surprises, and many misses. So far, the best we’ve seen has come from an unlikely source; Timberland’s premium footwear line Abington and their Guide Boot. What you need in a boot for the city is something a little more streamlined than your average winter footwear, but that provides the same protection against the harsh elements urban life can bring: slush, salt, ice and cold. On a recent stop to Barneys New York, another candidate caught our wandering eye, this Leather Wingtip boot by CO-OP Barneys. Like the Abington, this modern and fashionable boot is made to resist the weather, yet is stylish enough to meet your needs. Made in Italy of antiqued leather and resting on a lug gum sole, this laceup offers a practical option to your typical winter boot. Available here.
