Spanish vegetable dyed leather upper with outside brass zip, fastening and tassel. Partially leather lined on a Goodyear welted Commando rubber sole. LEATHER CARE: Protect with Dasco Protector Spray before initial wear and reapply regularly to maintain the condition of your footwear. Nourish regularly with Saphir D'or Leather Creme and use our Buffing Brush to bring out the richness of the leather. Store in the dust bag provided. Vegetable dye leather is dyed using plant extracts and oiled by hand. Tonal variances and minor imperfections are characteristics of natural leather and intrinsic to our design. To make a Goodyear™ welted boot, Penelope Chilvers' artisans sew a welt around the upper and the lining of the boot and this is then stitched to the midsole and sole. A layer of cork is added to the midsole that, in time, will mould to the foot for a glove like fit which is far more comfortable. This technique is much more labour intensive, but the result is a much more durable, quality pair of boots that will stand the test of time. With a Goodyear™ welt constructed boot, a shoemaker can unstitch the sole and resole it for you when it wears down which is a much more sustainable way of looking after your footwear. Sometimes our customers find the feeling of a Goodyear™ welt shoe to be quite firm under foot at the beginning, this is because we are more accustomed to padded sports foam insoles. Goodyear™ welted boots are a slow fashion, quality choice of footwear that should last for many years to come Code: Cropped Leather Tassel Womens Boots
