AIGLE “BENYL”

Yusuke“These are the most classic, orthodox rubber boots. They're popular with women too, and I personally like the design.”

This venerable French rain boot manufacturer, founded 160 years ago, still crafts its boots by hand using traditional methods. They use natural rubber that is both waterproof and durable. The "Bényl," a hunting boot style, is characterized by its lightness and flexibility, with a quick-drying polyamide lining. The cushioned insole, backed with Softex®, ensures a comfortable fit.

Yusuke“With these boots, tucking in your pant cuffs is a definite option. Not just with skinny pants, but I'm feeling the vibe of deliberately tucking in suit trousers.”
