The Brass Boot combines robust leathers, rugged outsoles, and all-day comfort. The moc toe is hand-sewn onto a one-piece vamp. The Floyd last features the same locked-in heel control but with higher walls at the toe box to allow forefoot freedom.
This boot utilizes our lug sole, which is designed for harsher conditions. The taller lugs and medium-density compound offer a combination of traction and durability.
Minerva Box is a grained version of Badalasi Carlo Tannery's Minerva – one of our favorite leathers. This boutique Italian tannery specializes in vegetable tanning. During the process, the leather is placed in a 'Bottali,' a large barrel that rotates, allowing the organic tanning substances to stay in contact with the article. A complete cycle may take 30 - 35 days. The result is a vibrant leather with transparency, depth, and grain.
