Ann Demeulemeester If you're a regular PorterEdit reader, you'll know that combat boots - easily distinguished by their chunky shape and utilitarian details - feature on our list of must-haves for the new season. Constructed from durable leather that softens with wear, Ann Demeulemeester's pair rests on thick soles and lace up at the front. Wear yours with calf-length dresses or tucked-in pants.
