Style A
What were your first impressions of these shoes?
Riverside: I was just surprised at how lightweight they are. I was also surprised at how lightweight they are, and the quick laces make them easy to put on and take off, even though they are high cut. They also fit quite well when tightened.
Please tell us about the first styling.
Riverside: Using a cowtin knit, we imagined a classic snow mountain outfit. The overall size is a relaxed fit rather than tight, to balance the shoes.
The silhouette of the pants is just beautiful.
Riverside: Because the shoes have volume, I thought that if the pants were thin, the shoes would not fit well, so I wore a wide, straight silhouette that would fit in best. I was conscious of chic tones, such as black and navy.
Style B
What about the second styling?
Riverside: I felt that the lacing of the shoes was similar to the military boots I used to wear, so I thought they would go well with wide pants. My image is that of British youth wearing laced leather boots.
It is easy to use as a fashion item, isn't it?
Riverside: The design is orthodox and not too high-tech, so it goes well with casual styles like my own today. Just as DESCENTE ALLTERRAIN has a sophisticated image, I feel the same vibe from these shoes.
Do you usually wear boots?
Riverside: I do wear them, especially in winter. On my business trips to Europe in the winter, it is not uncommon to find the ground frozen. These Vibram sole boots would be very useful because they would be easy to walk in and would not slip.
