A calf-high boot in grained dark brown leather, closed with a side strap lacing — sturdy enough for daily wear and soft enough to put on from day one.
The wide last gives the toes room without the shaft standing away from the leg. The lacing runs over leather loops and adjusts to the calf; above it sits a fabric-lined turn-over edge that keeps the top soft. Like everything at Charook, the boot is stitched by hand — the visible sole seam is the giveaway.
Material
The shoe is 100 % leather: a buffalo-leather outsole, a lamb-leather lining and a goat-leather outer shell. The leather is untreated and natural. Goat leather lets the feet breathe, so no bad odours build up and the foot stays cool — which is why these shoes stay comfortable over long days.
Fit and size
Natural leather stretches slightly over the first few days and moulds to your foot. We recommend your usual size; go up one if you have a high instep or a wide foot. The sole is flat and flexible — you feel the ground without giving up a protective layer of leather.
Care
The leather is untreated and natural. Wipe off dust with a dry, soft cloth and work in a colourless leather conditioner from time to time. Never machine wash and never dry on a radiator — let the shoes air at room temperature.
