Lot No. LK-026-CAMEL
Based on country boots originating in Scotland and Ireland, we’ve refined this design with subtle details, design modifications, and upgraded materials and components to create a masterpiece suited for the modern era.
Commonly known as “wing tips” in the United States, this design has evolved beyond casual wear and is now worn in business settings as well.
By using D-Wide’s original last, we’ve also paid special attention to creating a clean, streamlined silhouette.
Please enjoy the uppers—meticulously finished one pair at a time by skilled Japanese artisans—as well as the intricate stitching along the edges.
■The material is a luxurious leather tanned using the Bacchetta method, a tradition passed down in the Tuscany region of Italy.
The Bacchetta method is a traditional tanning process that involves slowly infusing the leather with vegetable tannins over an extended period and repeatedly applying oil through a process called “fat-tanning.” However, because this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the number of artisans carrying on the tradition has dwindled over time, the leather has become increasingly rare.
Leather tanned using the Baccetta method has a supple, soft texture and contains more oil than typical leather. It molds comfortably to your feet right from the first wear and feels lighter than standard work boots.
■The soles feature the Italian-made 2055 sole and 2055 heel from the world-renowned manufacturer Vibram, offering exceptional grip, durability, and abrasion resistance.
■Crafted using the Goodyear welt construction—one of the traditional methods for making leather shoes—these boots boast exceptional durability thanks to their intricate stitching.
This construction method, commonly found in vintage boots and high-end footwear, is characterized by a level of sturdiness that far surpasses other methods.
The complex stitching and structure give the boots just the right weight, creating a pendulum-like motion that supports your stride.
One of the main attractions is that repairs—such as sole replacement, full sole replacement, and heel replacement—are possible, allowing you to enjoy these boots virtually forever.

Each piece of genuine leather is unique. You may notice slight scratches or wrinkles, but please enjoy these as part of the leather’s natural character. We look forward to your order with your understanding.
