Product Description
Bringing back one of our most popular styles, the classic round PTB & Goodyear Welted on the customer favorite HOK last fitted with storm welts, thick leather midsoles and thicker soles, making a robust and truly unique blucher. This new range is made using unique casual leathers from world renowned tanneries, for this specific version we've selected our newest casual leather, the Oiled Shoulder in a deep Dark Snuff shade finished with a double City lug sole.
This version is made using one of our newest additions to our leather line up, the Classic Oiled Shoulder from C F Stead. Oiled Shoulder features a full grain tannage with casual appearance and heavy pull-up. A fully-aniline, waxed finish which retains the natural appearance and characteristics of the grain, making a superb leather for more casual styles.
Please note that this leather does not look like smooth French calfskin at all, is a very rugged, oiled & very unique cowhide shoulder leather which will age agresively while retaining all its characteristics, making a great leather for casual footwear.
As the rest of our shoes this derby is made to last & to just get better looking & more comfortable over the time. When the time comes, fully resoleable & rebuildable.

Hok
Hok Last
The HOK last has rapidly become a true customer favorite, because of its well-designed & accommodating shape. Slightly longer than the classic RUI, the HOK last is a voluminous last, featuring a wide ball tread, providing superior comfort to the wearer. It is one of our most forgiving & comfortable lasts so far, without losing a bit of style. Providing excellent support while retaining a snug heel control so that the foot remains in place avoiding any slippage or sliding-forward to within the boot.
Most popular styles on the HOK last are our Jumper Boots & Wholecut Chelseas.

Common Fit Questions
Can I use my sneaker's size as a reference?
Goodyear Welted shoes & sneakers are made & fit quite differently. Sneaker fit is quite forgiving, whereas in a Goodyear Welted pair of shoes you'd like to have a close and adjusted feel in order to have the best and most comfortable fit.
Said that, better to compare with another pair of Goodyear Welted or dress shoes you have or have tried before.
What do you recommend if I am in between sizes?
If you're in between sizes, size up. Too tight shoes will end up resulting uncomfortable or not wearable.
Do your lasts fit all the same?
No they don't. Said that, most of our lasts are UK E width (medium/regular fit) and you most likely will be wearing the same size across many of them.
We recommend checking our Lasts page for a more detailed description of each of the lasts we currently have in production.
I wear a special size, can you produce a pair for me?
Sure! Most of our ready to wear production goes from size 6UK to 12UK, but if you happen to wear a smaller or larger size, we can definitely help & specially make any pair from our collection for you. Please do contact our CX Team, we'll be delighted to assist you.
I wear orthotics—Can I remove the insoles?
The answer is no, but there are a few exceptions. The leather insole is a structural part of our shoes/boots, is where the Welt & uppers are stitched through the welting process, and so it cannot be removed.
Said that, there is one exception, which is our Ultraflex System construction, which aside from the structural leather insole also comes with an additional memory foam insole on top of it. This memory foam insole can be removed easily.
