Avignon

Avignon makes footwear and socks for people who spend their time outdoors. The range covers boots, shoes, walking boots and socks, and it's aimed at hiking, hunting and sport.

What sets the label apart is how it thinks about design. Avignon starts from the movement of the body, not from the activity itself. The idea is that the way you move should decide what you need on your feet, rather than whether you're hiking, hunting or doing something else entirely.

That makes it a sensible name to look at if you want one pair of boots or socks that works across several outdoor pursuits, instead of a different specialist item for each. It's stocked by outdoor retailers including Addnature and Outnorth.
