DQUARED2’s new Expedition Boots with their over-sized red and orange hook and loop strappings are not only a design change but a a design upgrade (if you plan to use these on the slopes). Nothing is worse than losing those lacings while hiking up the stairs to the next SOHO boutique. Leather lining, leather insole, made in Italy. What else do you need. 700$ smackers at Zappos.

J Shoes recently collaborated with Los Angeles based Metro.pop magazine to produce a limyted run boot known as the Mpj Boot. As Cool Hunting puts it, "With the market saturated by minimally shaped and starkly-colored offerings, we like the refreshing leap back to the roots of shoe design. The Mpj boot reverently bows its head to Native America with its premium leather construction, removable fringe, sock liner made from recycled material and dynamic sole illustration by California-based artist Joe Suitor." A great look.

Leather boots make a further stand on the Fall/Winter 08/09 season with these Jil Sander Workwear and Chelsea boots. The Workwear Boot features a 100% leather upper with rounded toe and woodblock insert in the heel. The Chelsea Boot come sin classic black with leather upper and a thick leather sole. Both are available now at oki-ni.

A pair of fabulous distress leather boots from Ann Demeulemeester. We love the extra long tongue and lacings on these as well as the over-sized fit. 100% Italian leather and available now from Aloha Rag for a mere 1295$US.

For the gentlemen looking to propel themselves into the 19th century with a classic look from the "French bourgeoisie" or simply in need of a proper mid top leather boot, be sure to examine this A.P.C. Ankle High Boot for Fall 2008. Finished in a nice black leather, this is a true classic look.

One of the most interesting new releases as part of the new Neighborhood Spring/Summer 2008 collection is the Redwing boot collaboration. We could not imagine a better brand for Neighborhood to collaborate with.

The Black Moc. Redwing boot comes in black suede and with Neighborhood branding. CliffEdge has them in stock now.

As the first shoe of the new year Ubiq presents a winter boot of the classic kind. The Carphill is inspired by a classic hiking boot and is sort of a premium version of that. It comes in brown leather, and black and beige suede. The simple aesthetic looks really nice and if you want a quality winter boot that also performs when it gets a little more rough, then this is the way to go!

Chapterworld has them available now. After the jump pictures of the other two colorways.

Ubiq presents yet another winter boot as part of their Holiday 2007 collection. The boot is based off their popular Fatima sneaker. Just like the Fatima, the Preseren boot features the flap and has tartan check underneath it. The outer sole is thicker to hold you warm this winter. The boot comes in three colorways, each with black suede upper, but different tartan check colorways on the flap.

The Ubiq Preseren will be released at Flauge on the 17th of December. After the jump more detailed images.
