That person I'm interested in,
How will they wear the brand stones?

Blundstone was founded more than 150 years ago on the Australian island of Tasmania. The shoes favored by workers and outdoorsmen in harsh natural environments are now accepted as a fashion item in the city. This may be because of their easy-to-match designs and variations that allow you to project your own personality. For this issue, we asked five people active in various fields to wear shoes of different designs. Some had been wearing the shoes for some time, while others were wearing them for the first time. We asked them to speak frankly about the appeal of "Brand Stone" from their personal perspectives.

The shoes you wore are from the "Classic Comfort" series, which feature a leather liner and cushioned insole.

Today was the first time I wore the "Brand Stone" shoes. They are not loose or tight, but have a perfect fit and are really comfortable.

What was your impression of "Brand Stone"?

Many people around me are wearing them , and I have an image that they can be used from the city to the outdoors. . Since they are made of leather, you can enjoy how they change over time. Many people on the location bus wear them, and even if they get dirty from wearing them so hard, it's a nice touch. I think they are cool boots, whether you wear them stylishly and neatly, or wear them roughly for work.

What styles of side gore boots do you like to wear?

. I don't think there is a theory that says you should wear them this way. . I think it is also correct not to wear them consciously. The other day, I was talking with a designer of a certain brand, and he said that he feels that there are many people who wear formatted fashion these days, and that there is a tendency to think that it is fashionable to match items that have been decided upon together. However, I think it is also fashionable to freely wear what you feel is cool. Side gore boots can also be worn sensibly.

By the way, do you have any key points for today's coordination?

. Today's look is a little more mode, but still refreshing since it is spring. I paired a coat by Raf Simons with wide pants by Digawell. The colors are not cluttered, but the silhouette and the texture of the material give it character. The nubuck texture of the boots is used to create a minimalist look.

BrandStone" goes well with such styling!

You may have an image that it is difficult to match the footwear, but I coordinated them without thinking too deeply, and I was able to get into it in my own way. Shoes play an important role in styling, and "BrandStone" shoes go with any style. I realized that these boots are not restricted to a single taste.

. Indeed, it suits various tastes.

. I also change my taste in clothes according to my mood, but I value what feels fresh. For example, I like a mixed style, a cross between mode and casual. . I think "Brand Stone" is a convenient pair of shoes that can be worn in this way and fit any style.
