Combat boots - Men

The combat boots for men bring character to the men's wardrobe thanks to their assertive silhouette and thick sole. Inspired by military and utility boots, they are now designed for everyday use, combining durability and robustness. At Pied de Biche, our military and ranger boots are designed in La Rochelle and made in Portugal from carefully selected European leathers.

Leather combat boots

The leather combat boots for men offer a dressier rendering of the traditional military ankle boot, placing itself on the border between urban style and careful finishing. This silhouette plays on a real duality: the rock spirit of the high upper combines with the sophistication of high-end leather. It is a model of character, capable of structuring raw jeans as well as breaking the strict side of more dressy pants, a assertive alternative to our chelsea boots and chukka boots.

Grained leather combat boots

The grained leather brings relief and a marked texture to the boot. It is a particularly resistant finish, which has the advantage of hiding creases and everyday marks very well.

Oiled leather combat boots

Heavily nourished in the tannery, the oily leather gives real robustness to the shoe. It does not fear rain, takes little marks and develops over the seasons a raw patina which gains character.

Suede combat boots

In version suede (calf velvet), the combat boot gains flexibility and softness. The matte texture of the suede leather softens the military silhouette to offer a more casual style, ideal for mid-season.

Combat boots with notched sole

The notched sole boots for men combine excellent grip and good protection against the cold. The rubber sole adds relief to the silhouette without making the walk heavier. It is an ideal choice for displaying an assertive style while maintaining the flexibility of a city shoe.

Combat boots with jeans: how to combine them?

Combat boots go very well with straight or slightly fitted jeans. Making a slight cuff at the bottom of the pants allows the upper to be exposed and the shoe to stand out. Conversely, pants that are too wide risk hiding the silhouette of the boot. They also work great with cargo pants or heavy cotton chinos.

Can you wear combat boots to the office?

Yes, in professional settings with flexible dress codes. Combined with wool pants and a fitted sweater or a simple jacket, they create a contemporary and neat outfit. For a more formal setting, derbies or Chelsea boots will however remain more suitable.

How to maintain your leather combat boots?

Simple maintenance guarantees the longevity of your ankle boots:

1. Brush the stem to remove dust.
2. Apply a nourishing cream to preserve the suppleness of the leather.
3. Apply a waterproofing spray to protect against bad weather.
4. Clean the notched sole in lukewarm water with a stiffer brush to remove accumulated soil or residue.
