"When the rain or snow starts coming down in earnest, men have to change the way they assess boots. Though brogue-style Allen Edmond's ankle highs are great, they may not be ready for puddles. Wellington boots, on the other hand, can definitely cope, but they look foolish at a restaurant or in an office. Shoes that offer a decent compromise between weatherproofing and clean design are few and far between, which is why Tretorn's G&amp;auml;rde St&amp;ouml;vel Vinter boots are worth taking for a test hike. These boots have a broad toe box that makes them look a bit square when they're on the shelf, but the light and dark leather detailing looks unexpectedly good with dark jeans.\r\nMountain types may find the Vinters reminiscent of great snowboard boots: The fit is snug, and rigidly constructed interior walls hold the ankle steady. Part of the reason the unexpectedly lightweight boot is so structured is that it features a Gore-Tex waterproof lining that keeps the fuzzy interior dry while still allowing the foot to breath; good structure also permits the boots to have a more thoughtfully considered exterior.&amp;nbsp;Tretorn's sideways V mark is subtly inscribed in the cloth sides. A simple white sole complements the blonde leather streak up the heel and under the arch.\r\nWe love these tough mudders on a wet day &amp;ndash; wearing them, you'll stay both comfortable and stylish. Leave the Wellies at home. [$190; us.tretorn.com]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
