Like Monk Strap shoes, the Chukka boot is a traditional shoe that also has a decidedly modern look. These chukkas, made by Rider Boot Co., are no exception.
These boots are perfect for keeping your casual look from being sloppy. With black large pebble grain calfskin, known by Rider as “Inca”, and welted Sestriere soles, these are unique, sleek, and durable all at once.

Peccary leather is traditionally used for gloves. It’s light weight and softness make it perfect for the nimble action needed in the sensitive areas of the palm and fingers, and its surprising durability make it very useful for the constant gripping of objects and surfaces. The hands, however, are not your only important extremities.
We’ve made Gaziano and Girling’s hand-stitched reverse split toe shoe, the Hove, in beautiful dark brown Peccary leather, the hide of the Peccary boar. These shoes have a uniquely textured finish, blucher style lacing, and single leather soles, making for a lightweight, supple, refined casual shoe.

Suede shoes get a bad rap. It seems like guys are always talking about how they think they’ll get ruined. Contrary to popular opinion, quality suede is one of the most versatile and comfortable shoe leathers you can invest in. And it actually looks better with wear.
We’ve paired Edward Green’s classic captoe Cardiff blucher with fine-grained coffee suede, making it as fit for January as it is for June. Any time there isn’t salt or melting snow in the way, you can proudly wear these shoes. They pair great with just about any color or texture, from dusty summer linens to somber winter flannel.

The Alden Indy Boot has been around for decades. It’s endurance is due in large part to its incredibly unique style. It was originally created as an orthopedic work boot, and yet made up in shell cordovan it’s quite refined, with a slim look, hand-stitched toe, leather lining, and a structured heel and sole.
There are a lot of leather boots out there, but there is still only one Indy.
Our J.C. Indy boot uses Alden’s tradition of utility and refinement through the employment of Horween Cigar Shell Cordovan leather and lugged commando soles. Dark and rich, the cigar cordovan will prove highly wearable with a subdued color and shine.

Wolverine’s 1,000 mile boots for women are super cute. They’re kind of like bad boy boots but for girls a little bit tomboy, a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll.

Made in America and featuring top quality Horween Chromexcel leather, a stacked leather outsole and classic welt construction, the 1000 Mile Boot has been meticulously designed to replicate the original’s aesthetic.
