Waxy Kudu leather is a truly unique and very special one—Made using antelope leather from Southern regions of Africa. A striking & very unique waxed leather which features all the natural blemishes, scars and scratches of a wild antelope that lived in the bushes. Blemishes & cuts are part of the interest of this leather and are be used on the production of the uppers, making every single pair truly unique. Exclusively sourced from the renowned suedemaker C F Stead Tannery in Leeds, UK, which is often considered to be the best in its class.
Waxy Kudu is a thick, extremely soft and yet very durable leather. It is a true pleasure to wear and see age over time, developing an incredible patina, aside from getting more and more comfortable over the time.
As with any leather, you'll want to prevent it from drying out, and in this specific case we do recommend to keep the Waxy Kudu nourished & waterproofed with an occasional maintenance with our Dubbin Wax from Famaco or even Famaco's Renovateur, for a lighter protection.
Definitely the perfect boot leather.

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.
