I’m kinda nuts over Vanishing Elephant‘s shoe line. The most recent thing that caught my eye? The Filger boot.
Take a look:
The overall look is sturdy without being clunky. I’m a fan.
A very quick rundown of the details: 7 eyelets, fully lined in leather, two-tiered shaft, heavy leather sole with hand-nailed stacked leather heel, rubber heel strike, and a cap toe.
Available at Blackbird for $315.

Ed’s Note: These are also available at some other spots for a bit less. But if you’re dropping a solid chunk of change on black leather boots with summer just around the corner, you’ve probably got enough cash to be pushing it towards a solid independent retailer. Get on it!
