Any fashionable footwear out there to keep a man’s feet dry but not look like he’s trekking Everest?
So you’re either aquaplaning in leather-soled shoes or clogging about in hefty Sorel or Merrell mountain boots. You need the durable utility of rubber soles — look for Commando or Dainite — combined with smart waterproofed or waxed leather uppers. Diemme, Danner, Red Wing and Thorogood are all brands worth looking at. But if they feel a bit too chunky, I’d suggest these Waxy Commander Balantyne waterproof brogue boots from O’Keeffe (£495; okeeffe-shoes.com). Smartly suited and winter booted.

Hardy Amies New Savile Row Flagship
When Hardy Amies first set up shop on Savile Row back in the 1960s, he was a breath of fresh air. Fifty years later the brand has repeated the trick with a thoroughly modern new store featuring its own ready-to-wear alongside Cherchbi tweed bags and Merchant & Mills haberdashery.
