Anyone who finds the idea of luxury hiking boots off putting, look away now. All of you left, we’d like to introduce these Rider Ottawa Boots. Ron Rider’s company is a small family run operation based in Richmond Virginia. Produced  by Calzaturificio Cortina in Northern Italy with leathers sourced from American, Italian and French tanneries, this is a company focused on offering a bit more of a personal service.

This particular model was created with the help of  legendary Italian maker Borgioli and are available in hand finished cognac or espresso French calf. Norvegese construction, this comes with a lightweight Vibram sole. They may look pretty but these can with stand a bit of hardcore walking. Leather Soul has them.

Sundays are meant for trail walks and hiking in New England.  While it may not be suited well for more serious hikes, the Tretorn Klippor should work out for those more relaxing of hikes and nature walks. “100% leather, rubber-toed boot height sneaker with metal hardware and wool blend lining. Constructed out of smooth and tumbled leather panels and equipped with a rugged rubber sole. Extra ankle support with the style of a high-lacing hiking boot. Two pairs of laces included.” Need Supply has them.

The winning element of the Paul Smith Ike Hiking Boot is the sole. This unit replicates an original design from the 1948 Winter Games in St. Moritz. Clearly, there’s more than just the sole to give the boot an alpine air. The Fiesta leather upper has been tumbled in mud and stones. This provides an “elusive pre-worn look.” Signature laces and liner print might bring the boot into the present, but the general theme here is vintage. (via Acquire).

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.
