The Thursday Buy: The Astorflex Bomaflex Boots are The Best New Boots to Shop Now

If you ask me, it’s high time you laced up a pair of the best men’s boots for fall, seeing as cold, crisp weather is bearing down upon much of the country in full force. Of course, if you read this blog on the regular, you know precisely where to shop for your new favorite pair of boots: That’d be Huckberry, a personal favorite of mine and a company known for outfitting stylish guys everywhere for adventures aplenty.

That goes for building looks from the ground up with the best leather boots for men, as with the Astorflex Bomaflex Boots — and it also holds true for other Huckberry Bestsellers like one of the best waxed trucker jackets (but I’d wager you knew that already, right?). But back to business and back to your new favorite pair of boots, yes?

Now, what precisely makes the Astorflex Bomaflex Boots so essential to your casually rugged fall and winter wardrobe? It could be the fact that the Astorflex Bomaflex Boots are crafted by the same family-owned factory that makes, for example, your go-to pair of chukka boots, for starters. Or maybe it’s the fact that these reliable boots are made from thick-yet-soft cowhide leather that’s been naturally soaked and dried, all the better to help these dependable boots mold to your feet over time.

Best moc-toe leather boots for men.

The Astorflex Bomaflex Boots only get better from there when you consider the full set of specs, be it calfskin-lined memory foam insoles for extreme comfort, or the lightweight EVA soles for springy cushioning. As luck would have it, the Astorflex Bomaflex Boots blend performance, style and classic looks in one reasonably priced pair of boots (they’ll run you under $350 at Huckberry). The moc toe construction is also durable and timeless, and the fact that the Astorflex Bomaflex Boots also feature boat shoe lacing and detailing is another nice touch.

It’s also worth calling out the wedge sole on the Astorflex Bomaflex Boots, which turns them in to casual boots to wear with blue jeans and a henley, or else with chinos and one of the best shirt jackets on a casual day at the office. They’re also available in goes-with-anything colors like Black or Brown leather, complete with eye-catching rawhide laces. When the occasion calls for modern, rugged style and yet all-day reliability, be sure you’re lacing up the Astorflex Bomaflex Boots ASAP.

The Friday Read: The Best Jeans for Fall, Huckberry’s Best Fall Menswear & A New Shinola Watch

Best fall jeans for men.

In my book, there’s never a bad time to wear a pair of the best blue jeans for men, but there’s something particularly special about the crisp, brisk climes of fall to break out a pair of your new favorite jeans. Of course, if you read the blog, you know I’m all about the comfort, stretch, dark colorways and expertly washed finishes of NYC-based brand Mott and Bow. Yes, these days they do everything from lightweight jeans to one of the best polos for men, but it’s tough to top the rugged wearability of the Mott and Bow Crosby Jeans (shown above), for starters.

Meet the Classic Full Zip Hoodie: pictured in both men's and women's. Available in an array of colors.

On that note, be sure to head over to my Instagram to see how I style my own pair, especially as I hit the road again this weekend on a press trip — yes, another press trip for my writing work with Maxim and elsewhere, and one I can’t quite disclose yet. Rest assured, I’ll be dressed in style all the while and will share a full report again soon! In the meantime, let’s get into the weekend with the best fall menswear from Huckberry and much more.

  • Alright, my friends: Here’s the lowdown. Earlier this week, one of my favorite retailers — and one of the best online menswear shops, no doubt — just debuted the first-ever Huckberry Fall Classic Sale, showcasing discounts on some of its most-loved pieces, including Japanese-made beanies and plenty of other rugged menswear picks. Sadly, that sale just wrapped up, BUT you’ve still got the whole weekend to check out the best of the rest when it comes to Huckberry’s fall gear. Cheers, folks.
Best new Shinola watch for men.
  • If you can’t get enough of stylish Shinola watches — or of groundbreaking history in the process — this next item is certainly for you. The good folks at Shinola, Detroit’s pride and joy, just debuted another entry in the Shinola Great American Series. The offering? A handsome, rugged watch celebrating the accomplishments of famed Olympic Gold Medalist and pro football champion (and baseball player!) Jim Thorpe. Read my latest at Maxim and shop the watch here.

That’s going to do it for today’s Friday Read — did you find something to add to your shopping cart, perhaps a Shinola men’s watch or any number of picks from Huckberry’s fall gear rotation? Be sure to let me know on Twitter, and make the most of your fall weekend in the meantime. Thanks for reading!

That’s where today’s essential Thursday Buy comes into play, and I think you’re going to like what you see. The Danner x Huckberry Waxed Canvas Danner Light Boots are impossibly rugged, well-designed, seriously cool and expertly crafted — and then some. To say they’re everything you should look for in a pair of the best boots for men doesn’t quite do it justice, either. Let’s keep diving in, shall we?

Taft Boots

Of course, the Danner x Huckberry Waxed Canvas Danner Light Boots blend the best of both worlds when it comes to Huckberry’s focus on rugged gear and Danner’s focus on top-notch craftsmanship. The good folks at both companies just understand the spirit of adventure and style — plus functionality.

It all comes together in the Danner x Huckberry Waxed Canvas Danner Light Boots, which blend handsome full-grain leather with upper side inserts made using waxed canvas from Flint and Tinder’s Waxed Trucker Jacket.

It certainly gets even better from there when it comes to the Danner x Huckberry Waxed Canvas Danner Light Boots. This exclusive collaboration (limited to just 600 pairs) turns the already-impressive Danner Light into a thing of rugged beauty, complete with comfort (the Vibram® Christy outsole) and dependability. The Texas Tan leather is stylish and versatile in its own right, while the Danner x Huckberry Waxed Canvas Danner Light Boots offer a snug fit in extreme conditions thanks to speed lacing on the upper.

If you want a pair of exclusive boots made with exceptional quality top of mind, the Danner x Huckberry Waxed Canvas Danner Light Boots are the pair you need to shop now — and there are only 600 pairs available, so act quickly.

Flint and Tinder jacket review

This sturdy fall jacket is crafted from British Millerain waxed canvas that’s been treated for additional weather resistance, and the flannel lining of the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket is a brilliant addition to a casually rugged jacket that’s ready for just about anything.

It even features a rear game pocket, in addition to front hip button pockets and an interior chest pocket, all the better to secure your everyday carry essentials.

The accessory in question? Why, that’s easy: Some of the best sunglasses for men, from a new in-house brand developed by the hard-working folks at one of the best online menswear shops.

Walden Sunglasses hit all the right marks in terms of style, functionality, price and design — how’s that for going four-for-four to close out summer? Make no mistake, you still need a pair or two of the best men’s sunglasses even as summer draws to a close — heck, you can make the argument you need to wear your favorite pair of sunglasses all year long, even in winter. Luckily, Huckberry’s Walden Sunglasses make it easy on you in every way possible. Let’s dive in, yes?

Best new sunglasses for men

Walden Sunglasses draw from vintage design inspiration (like the 1950s inspired Walden Woods Sunglasses, or the classic square look of the Walden River Sunglasses), and in the process, they strip away “unnecessary details in favor of simplicity,” as Huckberry says.

This, my friend, is great news for you. Along the way, the Walden Sunglasses use sturdy, durable and eco-conscious materials, like a recycled steel internal frame, nylon lenses made from materials like fossil carbon, and external frames made from bio-based content.

It’s an impressive approach to design that only gets better when you consider that these pairs are under $100, and they’re made to wear well with, say, plenty of Huckberry Bestsellers. If it seems like Huckberry thought of everything when designing your new go-to sunglasses, it’s because, well, they did. Secure your pair now for effortless early fall style, folks.
