It can be hard to find robust, waterproof boots for more stylish country and dog walks. There are many available from outdoor and mountain shops that owe more to practicality than appearance. The unusually named Ohw? have got design and looks right with their new (for Autumn/Winter '15) waterproof range of Goodyear welted boots with an internal waterproof membrane in hydrophobic full grain leather and treated suede and wool.

I've tried a pair of their Holden boots on wet and muddy dog walks. Robustly constructed of strong but pliable leather and suede, I found them comfortable and dry. Their moccasin shape, leather laces and rubber/phylon soles give them a stylish appearance far removed from the often unattractive approach shoes and boots sold for lighter duty walks.

Ohw? aim to bring a fresh approach to men’s footwear with contemporary and functional designs manufactured in their own factory in China. It's refreshing to see a brand willing to be so open about the provenance of its products. I feel that the variety, quality and design of the finished product shows that they've achieved their aim.
