Ah, those mountaineers from Diemme are taking advantage of the Holidays with a special delivery of boots for Holiday 2011. New colorways and laces in their classic mountaineering boot looks are available in their Roccia, Firenze, and Inverno styles. Various leathers and synthetic uppers make the pickings wide on more than 28 styles. Choice soles as well. Their Holiday 2011 collection is as big as most. You have options this season.

Having seen a few clothing mishaps up close, we know a thing or two about a poorly managed ‘brand extension’ – have you seen some traditional shoe companies attempts at trainers? No? Your eyes have been saved from some Saw 2 levels of monstrosity. So we were surprised as anyone when we saw Diemme’s first foray into casual footwear. If you’ve ever looked at a pair of CP’s and thought ‘yeah, these are cool, but I need chunkier eyelets’ this is the shoe for you. (Tres Bien)

I’m showing these because I love them. The Diemme company for years sold fairly average hiking and mountaineering boots. With the rise in street fashion they clearly saw a market was available to them. With Autumn 2011, they’re bringing some new sneakers but the real gems are these wingtip mountaineering hikers – available in multiple colors. Dope. Seen at (capsule) Paris.
