Valentino makes a convincing case for the marriage of two unlikely footwear styles: trainers and hiking boots. It shouldn’t work, but the Italian label proves it does with the
Climbers trainers. Slaking our sartorial thirst for chunky ‘dad’ styles, they’re crafted from leather with mesh panels and set on a dramatic serrated sole. Oh, and the finishing touch? Branding aplenty in the form of logos and plaques, of course.
