Product Description
Bringing back the newest version of our Ultraflex System Chukka Boot. Unlined & Goodyear welted the newest ROD last.
The Ultraflex System is our newest take on the Goodyear Welt construction — A whole new system developed from scratch where Quality & Style meet real Comfort. This system is a combination of materials & technique making this chukka boot, possibly the most comfortable Welted boot in the market.
The Uppers are fully Unlined and more specifically for this chukka boot, we've selected the renowned Janus calf—one of our newest additions to the lineup. Exclusively sourced from Charles F Stead tannery in Leeds (UK) which is considered to be the best of its kind. To produce this stunning leather only A-grade selection French calfskins can be used, and so only a little percentage of the skins that come to the tannery are suitable for the production. As opposed to the split suede, the Janus Calf keeps the grain preserving the leather's fibers intact, assuring a much better performance & aging. The grain is revealed in the interior of the boot — beautiful and buttery soft.
The Footbed is filled with our adaptative Memory Foam on the forepart, while keeping the arch support with the steel shank & cork filler on the backpart. The Welting insole, the structural insole which the welt is stitched to. Made of a Full grain Vegetable tanned leather which provides the structure to the boot & support needed. On top of the Welting insole we've added an additional layer of our Memory Foam, the Removable Insole which is fully lined with full grain calf and aside from adding another level of comfort, is removable if needed.
To complete this Luxurious & comfortable chukka boot we've finished it with the great Joh Rendenbach leather soles with closed channel.
The result is a flexible boot that, while providing the necessary support, is extremely comfortable, without forgetting the style — keeping the overall aesthetics and proportions.

Rod
Rod Last
The ROD last features a casual round toe shape and a truly acommodating fit. As its sister HOK last, the ROD is a voluminous last, featuring a wide ball tread, providing superior comfort to the wearer. It is one of our most forgiving & comfortable lasts within our range. 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.
The ROD last is exclusive to the Ultraflex System range.
The Ultraflex System is our newest take on the Goodyear Welt construction — A whole new system developed from scratch where Quality & Style meet real Comfort. This system is a combination of materials & technique making these shoes, the most comfortable Welted dress shoe in the market. We've maintained the lines & look of our HOK last, but adjusted to be able to accommodate the double insole system during production, without affecting the overall fit.
The most popular styles on the ROD last are our Service, Jumper & Wholecut Chelsea Boots.

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.
