The first pair, the "Men's BUTTE ZIP WM," is made with high-quality leather uppers and thick, tough nylon materials to create a pair of authentic "Ag®" lace-up snow boots that are ready for the dead of winter. The waterproof eVent® membrane, cushioned and durable Vibram® outsole, and sealed seams are designed to protect your feet from the midwinter cold.
The fine natural wool of [agu®] is highly breathable, releasing heat and moisture from the inside of the boot and keeping it dry in any environment. The leather upper, nylon fabric, eyelets, and laces are all in the same gray color, giving the traditionally tough looking snow boot a very smart look and making it very versatile.

The second pair is the "Men's & Women's RIKI WM," a unisex version. Based on the "NEUMEL" chukka-type knitted boots that are popular among both men and women in the [agu®] lineup, the eyelets and laces have been eliminated and the flat elastic on the tongue has been made into a slip-on design to further enhance the comfort required of sneakers and shoes these days.
The upper is made entirely of beautifully colored sheepskin suede from "ag®" with a white transition to create a well-balanced design that is not overly simple. The heel is embossed with the logos of both "Ag®" and "White Mountaineering. This is a unisex type of shoe that is casual, yet slightly mode-oriented.
Both models offer the comfort of an "Ag®" footwear with a design, coloring, and just the right amount of luxury for everyday wear. Just as summer is the perfect time to enjoy sandals, fall and winter are the perfect time to enjoy boots. Since the item is expected to sell out, we recommend that you mark Saturday, October 22 in your calendar first.
