Building on the last of its cozy 2021 offerings, Munich-based A Kind of Guise kicks off the new year by adding to its ever-growing arsenal of footwear.

Cut from the finest nubuck leather with a satin finish, the label introduces two classic colorways of its all-new Merano Boot silhouette. Named after the beautiful Italian town that can be found nestled in the majestic mountains of South Tyrol, the Merano comes equipped with a grippy Vibram sole and subtle branding on the footbed.

Hand-crafted by a small family-run manufacturer in the northern Alpine Italian town, each boot boasts classic double-stitching and arrives in pleasing iterations of both “Whiskey” and black.

A Kind of Guise’s Merano Boots are available to buy now from the brand’s online webstore, retailing at €440 (approximately $500 USD).
