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

You like mountain climbing, don't you?

Seven Seas: That's right. I became certified as a mountain climbing guide in March of this year, and sometimes I climb about six times a month at the most.

Do you wear shoes and other mountain items in town?

Seven Seas: Yes, I like to wear them a lot in town to get them acclimated to my feet. Like these shoes, I just love Vibram soles, and when I choose mountaineering shoes, I always check whether the outdoors sole is Vibram or not. That's how excellent the grip is.

I see. What about the fashion aspect?

Seven Seas: At first glance, it looks sporty, but the design fits in well with street wear, so it was easy to style. For the first, I was conscious of the authentic winter styling of denim and down.

Style B

Please tell us about the other styling.

Seven Seas: The skirt and boots combination gives a girlish look, while the patterned jacket and accessories add a boyish atmosphere.

The shoes are made of a high-tech material that converts almost all light into heat.

Seven Seas: I have a tendency to get cold, but when I wear them, my ankles feel warm and I feel somewhat protected (laughs). They are very comfortable to wear, including easy to walk in.

Do you usually wear boots?

Seven Seas: Actually, I don't wear them very often. But since these have a zipper and are easy to take off and put on, I have a feeling I'll be wearing them a lot!
