Product Description

Our new plain toed derby boot, a versatile and casual choice handmade on the all new HOK last, this boot will be for sure your best partner throughout the Winter season!

The HOK is a voluminous last, featuring a wide ball tread, providing superior comfort to the wearer. It is our most forgiving & comfortable boot last 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. That is due to the newly redesigned & enhanced backpart. We do recommend to wear the same size as the HIRO or RUI lasts, for a more relaxed fit, or going down half a size for a more close cut fit. Also suitable for customers in need of a wide fit.

This very limited Meermin Shell Cordovan boots are made, using the Shell Cordovan handmade by our friend over at Shinki Hikaku Tannery, a family owned tannery in Himeji in the heart of Japan, following ancient methods. Full vegetable tanned made following a 10 month process where every shell is pit tanned, naturally air dried & glazed by hand in order to achieve its very transparent & characteristic finish. That is a quite long process, but the result its totally worth it!

Shoes made with this beautiful leather are made to last & get more confortable over the time. Shoes with this precious leather will develope a deep patina over the time, that will add its very own special character. Unfortunately nowadays, Shell Cordovan quantities are very restricted and because of that, these runs are extremely limited.

Finished with one of the best leather soles out there, the Joh Rendenbach sole. A time tested, oak bark tanned leather sole, light, water resistant & flexible.

All in all, a true classic, revisited that just arrived to stay & become your go-to boot.

Properly made. Quality Radically affordable.
