New York-based Epaulet just dropped a pair of combat boots well-suited for grappling with icy streets and winter weather. The footwear, handcrafted in Portugal, features heavyweight cowhide that has been exposed to a months-long tanning process. Elongating the leather treatment gives the boots more suppleness, higher water resistance, and a more easily cleanable finish.

Completing the look are Swiss RiRi zippers, brass eyelets, and a kidskin glove-lined leather interior with rubber soles. Translation: Your feet will be very comfortable all day and night.

The boots retail for $295 and are available in two colorways through Epaulet.
