What's your winter footwear look like? Four styles of Descente winter boots.

It is often said that "fashion is a matter of endurance," but in the cold winter, cold feet are a matter of life and death. However, we understand that you don't want to neglect fashion. DESCENTE's winter boots, "D.Trace," combine minimalist design with skiing-derived functionality, making them perfect for those who want to pursue the dual goals of design and function. In this issue, we explore its potential from various perspectives through eight styling patterns by four guests.

Style A

How do these shoes look in the eyes of a stylist?

Yagi: This is especially noticeable among young people, but I think that the recent trend is to use thicker pants with extra length, as in my styling today, and put them over the shoes. In this respect, a style with as much volume as these shoes have is a very good balance.

How did you like the styling?

Yagi: The shoes themselves are very simple, so I thought they would be easy to match with any outfit. In this styling, they are paired with wide pants made of a beautiful material, but they also seem to go well with techie clothes.

How are they comfortable?

Yagi: Very easy to walk. I think that functionality is a must, don't you? I think the difference will become apparent when I go outdoors for a while, for example, if they are slip-resistant like these shoes, or if they use light to keep you warm. So I would like to try out the functionality of these shoes in such situations as shooting in bad weather.

Style B

Please tell us about the other styling.

Yagi: This is a styling in which an old long coat is the main feature. The same as before, the extra length of the pants is used to cover the shoes, but I thought it would also work with rough pants that have a damaged finish.

What kind of shoes do you wear these days?

Yagi: I wear a lot of sneakers, and I place particular importance on how easy they are to wear and whether or not I will not get tired even after wearing them for a long time. It is not unusual for me to be on my feet for long periods of time on a shoot, so functional sneakers come in handy.

Outdoor-derived shoes are good in that area.

Yagi: Clothing and shoes change with the season and location, as well as the functions we seek. When you expect rain, snow, and various other weather conditions, you can rest assured that these high-function shoes are an option.
