HORSE LEATHER BOOTS CL-2 #2 LEATHER SOLES + VIBRAM PIECE DYED

HORSE LEATHER BOOTS CL-2 #2 LEATHER SOLES + VIBRAM PIECE DYED
A high-cut boot with a matte, refined expression created through the use of suede horse leather.
The shoelaces are piece-dyed together with the boots, allowing the laces and upper to share the same tonal depth and creating a more unified overall appearance.
The suede surface softens the visual impact of the black while retaining depth and character. Combined with the leather sole and Vibram, the result is a balanced construction with a chic, understated finish.

Materials & Craftsmanship
This footwear is made from vegetable-tanned horse leather with a thickness of approximately 1.3–1.5 mm.
The leather is first oiled to prepare it for dyeing. After the shoes have been constructed, they undergo the piece-dyeing process, followed by a slow period of natural drying.
During drying, each pair is carefully reshaped and adjusted by hand to restore the intended proportions and fit.
Once completely dry, the leather is finished by hand to enhance the depth, texture, and individual character of the suede surface.
The combination of vegetable-tanned horse leather and piece dyeing creates subtle variations in color and surface from pair to pair. With wear, the leather gradually develops greater depth and a character unique to the wearer.
All finishing processes are carried out in-house and by hand.
