The leather used is Chromexcel Leather (aniline-finished oil-tanned leather, thickness: 2.0–2.3 mm) from HORWEEN, a long-established American leather manufacturer.
Chromexcel leather contains a high oil content, making it resistant to cracking even with extended wear; it is characterized by its substantial thickness combined with a soft feel.
The soles are made by the world-renowned manufacturer VIBRAM and offer exceptional durability.
We use American-made 430 soles and heels.
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 shoes, is characterized by a level of durability that is unmatched by other methods.
Thanks to its complex stitching and structure, the shoe’s well-balanced weight creates a pendulum-like motion while walking, providing excellent support.
A key appeal is that repairs—such as sole and heel replacements—are possible, allowing you to wear them semi-permanently.
We will deliver them in a dedicated box.
