Chelsea boots in black leather

Made from natural calfskin, these boots stand out through an elegance suited to formal occasions in the cold season. Sole and heel are made from bend leather, covered with a rubber sheet for added grip. The boots have a side elastic closure and a cap-toe, recalling Oxford shoes. The welt stitch count is 7-8 stitches per inch.

Goodyear Welt construction allows for resoling and provides exceptional comfort, thanks to the layer of cork between the sole and the insole, which takes the shape of the foot. The slightly elongated last, with a rounded toe, recalls the tradition of British shoemaking. Deep black, with a discreet sheen, free of colour variation or decorative details. Sizes available from 36 to 47, including half sizes, in three width fittings.

The interior is lined with dyed natural leather, with a full-length insole. A soft insert sits beneath the insole, in the heel area, for added comfort.

These Chelsea boots suit charcoal suit trousers just as well as straight-leg jeans and a heavy jumper, for an autumn weekend.

For long-lasting wear, our recommendation is wiping the shoes after each wear with a microfibre cloth or a horsehair brush. Periodically, a moisturising cream, a pigmented cream, and a wax, applied in this order, are essential to maintaining the leather for years. Store in a box or fabric bags, with cedarwood shoe trees, away from light and heat sources.
