Dear Readers: What boot is Brad Pitt wearing?
Posted on October 8th, 2009 by galligator under Ask the Shoebloggers, Boots, General, I really love my shoe, Shoes on the StreetHello folks.
We have a gentleman who has been visiting our forums for about a month now trying to identify this boot that he is desperate to own.
OK, now here’s the toughy, What kind of boots are these he (Brad Pitt) is wearing?
He wears them all the time, not every picture is with this boot, but a lot are this exact boot.
Here are some distinct qualities of this boot:Notice bottom sole is a two piece, one part for the heel and one part for the front part of foot, This is a very distinct feature of the shoe, sometimes only seen in roper toe cowboy type boots.
Also the bottom sole of the heel has a distinct “V” cut slash in the heel in the picture where he is taking a step.
Also the bottom of the shoes on the right bottom is a square that is colored either orange or red and is the brands name on it or the color is part of the brand, because in two of the pictures showing the bottom of his shoes one can clearly see the bottom of the shoe has the orange or red square trademark. The logo on the bottom is a big give away as to what brand it is.
Also notice the tip of the shoe has a bit of white on the toe area, also a distinct mark on the boot.
Also the material is a gray suede or a distressed pewter, he also has a pair of these in dark brown in one of the pictures, but mostly he wears the dark gray suede or distressed pewter.
They are zip ankle boots, with a round toe very similar to roper style, but not a cowboy boot, also has a Chelsea boot style on the front ankle.
Unfortunately for our friend bottnoob, neither I, nor anyone else on the forums, have been able to identify the manufacturer or style of this boot.
*Sigh* I like it much better when I can actually find an answer on these shoe-hunts.
So, I am now asking you - our readers (who are much more celebrity-savvy than I) to help him out.
Here are the boots in question:
So, how about it?
Perhaps you - or your significant other - own or recognize this boot or recognize the brand?
Any leads, clues, or other information would be most helpful and greatly appreciated at this point.
Any information you have can be left here in comment form, or over in our shoe-forums where this hunt began.

I believe they are Ferragamo…the insignia on the bottom of the shoe is indicative.

thanks so much boot kid, I was just about to post a message like yours. Thanks !!! and YES we are doing a forum thread to petition to Cole Haan Reps. for some kind of way to get us this boot. I believe, if we get enough people, I will send them all of this information and signatures we have gathered to show them how much we love this design of a boot of theirs. I believe when the representatives of Cole Haan see’s how much we consumers love this boot, it will spark something to either bring back a line into of these boots to small retailers, maybe even internet buy only or something. but anything for us to obtain these originals, newer series, or brand new series for us of this Cole Haan G series Air Carson boot.
Please take a look at the pictures on first page, if you like this boot, please be apart of this petition and list the amount of pairs you would like if you are purchasing for friends also.
