The base material is double shoulder leather, carefully finished by a domestic tanner. While the leather is 3.5mm thick, it is a hard material that takes time to tan. It is dyed after production, giving it a rough, rugged feel and a firm texture. However, it breaks in quicker than other shoulder leathers, developing a relatively soft texture that reduces stiffness and provides a comfortable fit. With repeated wear, the leather softens and mellows, developing a rich, expressive look while retaining its firmness. These boots are designed to age well over time, making them a long-lasting companion.
These engineer boots, crafted on a newly designed last, exude a powerful presence thanks to their volume. The sleek form, contrasted with the hard look of the leather, makes them suitable for a variety of occasions and styles, and they offer a well-balanced pair of shoes that provide stability for your feet. Durable construction using Goodyear construction and featuring heel details characteristic of western boots, the slightly higher, angled heel adds a stylish touch. While the sole is leather, the heel is fitted with a US Vibram mountaineering-style heel made from vulcanized rubber, a thicker material than the top lift, and a half sole is also fitted to the front.
