Tyrol shoes let you warm up this winter

A few years ago, they were only worn by a small segment of the fashion world, but in the last weeks of the current fall, these boots featuring stitched toes, four holes, laces and thick soles, similar to the buckskin type, are more popular than ever as shoes for everyday wear. Known as Tyroleans, these were originally work shoes that appeared in the early 20th century in the Austrian Tyrol, which is where they got their name. The Tyrol region, located in the Austrian and Italian Alps, is known for its ham, fruit-filled cheese rolls and these awkward-looking, clumsy shoes. While Tyrolean shoes tend to be controversial, they are certainly a must-have item in many fashion lovers’ closets.

Not only do Prada and Legres have Tyrolean boots in their current collections, but also Marni, Marsell, Casadei and Santoni. however, the most popular brand that produces these shoes is still Paraboot, a French brand that has been around since 1945.
