Description
From railroad workers at the turn of the Century to sheep farmers on the hills of Yorkshire, the humble, rugged work boot has straddled utilitarian, heritagewear and high street fashion for decades. But as the momentum gathers for garments ‘made to last,' you don't need to look further than a handmade Portuguese leather boot to epitomise this revolution. This boot style was initially made to provide local quarrying and lead mining industries in north England with rugged footwear that would survive some of the most severe conditions. We have retained the traditional aesthetics of this famous footwear and worked closely with our makers to produce a hardwearing boot weighing in at just 750g. If your boots are stained or caked in mud it's a good idea to wash them. If the leather is unfinished, use saddle soap for a deeper, more effective clean. Use a damp rag and rub the surface of the saddle soap in a circular motion to create a light lather and rub the suds on the outer surface of the boots. If the leather has a finish, use a mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the surface of the shoe. Rinse and allow them to air dry for 10 minutes. 100% Cow Leather upper
