YORK urban-black welted military boots.

€470

A powerful handmade black military boot featuring a design inspired by the high-top boxing shoes of the 1960s golden age. The 14-eyelet lacing, an eye-catching oversized welt, a sturdy and irregular buffalo leather sole that draws the eye, this style is skilfully handmade in Italy from vegetal-tanned buffalo leather, hand-dyed, stonewashed and brushed to enhance its masculine edge.  Unparalleled craftsmanship and the quintessence of the Untamed Street spirit.

how it is made.

Handcrafted in Italy and constructed from vegetable-tanned Italian buffalo leather, hand-dyed and buffered to create luxurious nuances and shades. 

This style is distinguished by its superior Cupsole construction, where the sole is laterally stitched to the upper, providing exceptional flexibility, comfort, and ease of re-soling for years of wear.

The YORK collection showcases a beautifully welted profile and hand-crafted, vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather outsoles, cut from the double butt of the hide. The authenticity of the material is evident in the characteristic wrinkles and lines visible on the sole, which we have chosen to leave uncovered by rubber pads.

To create a distressed, urban look, this style also undergoes an exclusive antiquing process called stone washing, consisting of washing the shoe in open washing machines filled with water and pumice stones. The shades of uneven intensity are then emphasised through careful waxing and brushing.

shoe care.

The YORK shoes and boots are all dip-dyed and stonewashed and treated for a worn-in, distressed look, so don’t need to be kept pristine. They are meant to be lived in and become part of your story. The more worn-in the cooler they become, displaying a lifetime of memories and stories.

That said, regularly caring for your shoes will nourish them, increasing their softness, water resistance and comfort. And, it goes without saying, the more you care for your shoes, the longer they will last.

Stylisch und komfortabel zugleich

Die Schuhe haben eine sehr schöne breite Form und sind auch sehr bequem. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut, die Ledersohle scheint echt **** zu sein. Das Leder hat eine grobe Struktur am Schaft mit einer guten Haptik. Der fordere Bereich ist im glatten Leder gehalten, echt schön. Die Ferse hinten ist schön breit, was gut aussieht. Oben am Schaft ist ein Klettverschluss zum Fixieren der Lasche, die werde ich entfernen, aus meiner Sicht nicht notwendig. Der Metall-Reißverschluss ist eine wirkliche Einstieg-Hilfe und deshalb absolut Okey.
Die Maßangabe ist sehr hilfreich und entspricht auch wirklich der Realität, super! Gestern bestellt und heute bekommen (nach Deutschland), schneller geht nicht 😊👍

For wider feet

I originally ordered a Yale boot but it was too small and narrow. They suggested a boot in the York collection due to it being wider, so I exchanged for the military boot in a size up from my original purchase (customer service was good). They fit great width/size and are really sharp looking boots. Love how you can keep them laced up and slip in and out with the zip. The top flaps are great for movement. Will most definitely buy another pair of shoes from this company.

the attention to detail is evident

Highest recommendation the attention to detail is evident. Well crafted with excellent materials. I have a high instep these boots fit like a glove UK 11 the equivalent to US size 12 . My feet are wide these boots were comfortable from day one . I plan too purchase more from this collection. I added a rubber pad as it's rainy over here.
