If you’re tired of people disrespecting your personal space (or your footwear choices), the Hard Graft Alpine Duck Boots (£558) are the 4×4 of your shoe rack. These are not modest footwear; they’re rugged, heavy-duty statements that practically dare people to step on your toes (spoiler: they won’t).Handcrafted in Italy, these beasts feature vegetable-tanned leather lined with calfskin, capped off with rubberized calfskin duck boot styling to fend off water and urban grime. Underneath? A Vibram lug sole—the equivalent of off-road tires. They fit snugly but leave room for your wiggling digits. Go ahead, stomp through the city mud. You’ll be comfortable, protected, and sporting an undeniable, expensive “Pizzazz.”
