Being a massive fan of the dessert boot for men I was excited to come across a new innovative brand called Pippo Footwear. Although very much a UK brand it is clear they use European and Scandinavian countries as inspiration for their designs.
Dessert boots are very much on trend in UK fashion and sticking with this current trend Pippo Footwear has developed not only great designs but also practical and affordable shoes.
The Major shoe is my personal favourite of the collection (as seen in image); with its classic dessert boot look it’s very much on trend for SS12. Not only is the Major shoe a great design they are also made really well using 100% leather. Although I prefer the sued boot in an adult size, the Major shoe is cutest in leather for a child, as they are more practical and easier to maintain, whilst still keeping its great design. The Major Pippo shoe keeps within the traditional dessert boot with the material used for the sole. The real crepe rubber is used in the same way as it is for the classic Clark dessert boot. This gives the product a really natural, characterful look and with its stitching around the welt edge it gives the shoe a real distinctive look.
These shoes are definitely made to last and retailing at £45 it’s an affordable price point for a great pair of children's shoes. Not only do they look great on boys, they look equally as good on a girl. (As seen in the image) I must say I am a huge fan and have already made sure both my son and daughter have a pair each. I am sure the Major is going to be a huge hit this SS12 and look forward to seeing them all over the UK
I also recommend the Cassidy Hi Top that will bring both fun and colour this spring summer. They have a very Scandinavian look and look extra cool with skinny jeans. I really love the brand and look forward to seeing even more exciting designs in the future.
