These black Dolce & Gabbana Hobnail leather ankle boots have been expertly constructed in Italy and feature a round toe, lace-up front fastening, back pull tab and a sturdy treaded rubber sole. Hobnails are used in boot making to increase durability and were formerly favoured for mountaineering, gripping to sloping rock surfaces. Well, we always said the stagger back from the pub is pretty steep, so these Dolce & Gabbana boots will come in just nicely for that regular trek.
