New shoes, a classic look. Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan has always intrigued me. Both his music and his sense of fashion expresses quality and tradition, with a twist.

The early days:
Dylans debut album; 'Bob Dylan', was released in March 1962 on Columbia Records. In this period of time, Dylan was highly inspired by Woody Guthrie. The influense of Guthrie, can easily be detected in the music. But also in his fashion style:

Some Clarks will probably do the trick for you, if this is the Bob Dylan style you want:

The mid sixties:

In the mid 60`s, Dylans music style changed from folk to rock. And so did his apperance.

If you want to dress like Dylan, you have got to get a pair of Chelsea Boots.

Current:
Dylan has always been inspired by the country/western style:

And finally a quote from Dylan himself:
"So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather."

  1. I love the last pair of boots! I have searched for them but I've just found those ones, although they are not the same. Is The name of the model just "snowboot"? Haven'ts they any code, like Snowboot 7710, or something like that? It would help a lot to find them. I like your style, anyway! congrats for the blog!

  2. Hi! We have the boot in the store where I work. (http://lillevinkelsko.no/sendra-snowboot-743800-sort-p-6432.html) I think the universal code is Snowboot-7438. Thats what it says on the box.
    But I can only find it in some weird german stores.. (and ours, which only can be ordred by norwegians)

    I think maybe it`s an old model. I would contact Sendra directly. http://www.sendra.com/

    Good luck!

    Best,
    Thomas
