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.

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.
