Have you ever watched one of those shows where a man is dropped into the wilderness with only the clothes on his back and a camera? Luxury designer Tom Ford has a new collection of fur boots that seem to be inspired by these survival shows.
The furry boots are handmade in Italy, however--not in the iceberg-bobbing, polar bear-roaming lands of the Northern hemisphere. The collection includes three pairs of boots that range from $4,470 to $9,240, all designed to appeal to the luxury skiing elite.
