Upper leather
Crazy horse leatherA nubuck cowhide leather with a snuffed surface and velvety texture. Infused with a rich blend of oils and waxes during tanning, it offers water resistance and develops a rugged, characterful patina with age and use.
Outsole
Treaded rubberA hardwearing and fully treaded rubber sole for enhanced durability and traction on varied terrain.
Insole
Texon & FoamA lightweight foam insole provides ultimate comfort and shock absorption for daily wear.
Welt
Goodyear weltIn this artisanal process, a strip of durable leather is stitched between the upper and sole of the boot, providing a barrier against water and mud whilst making the boot fully repairable.
Storm welt
A strip of durable leather is stitched in around the full parameter of the boot, providing ultimate protection from the elements and making the boot fully repairable.
Care instructions
-
Suede comes from the inner/under layer of the hide and has a soft, fuzzy nap.
Nubuck comes from the outer/surface layer of the hide and retains a slight grain pattern with a short velvety nap.
Note: for nubuck, crazy horse and distressed leathers the blocking line that runs down the middle of the boot is often more noticeable in oily leathers due to the wax/oil content. The blocking line is a characteristic hallmark of the blocking process, an integral step required to make a boot out of one piece of leather. Due to the individual nature of leather, each hide will block differently, and the appearance of the blocking line differs across all boots and leather types. The blocking line is likely to fade over time (it may not completely go away) but it is a visual sign of quality and should be worn with pride
Protecting
Used regularly, R.M.Williams Suede Protector will create a durable and breathable layer to protect suede and Nubuck leathers from water and stains that occur with regular wear.
- Prior to first wear, spray R.M.Williams Suede Protector onto clean footwear, in one direction, at a distance of 20cm.
- Allow to dry naturally, avoiding direct heat.
- Spraying in the opposite direction, repeat this process for a total of 3 times to ensure maximum coverage.
- Note: be mindful of wearing jeans or trousers that are non-colour fast over lighter coloured suede or nubuck boots as the colour may transfer to the leather.
- Note: we recommend protecting your leather boots with suede protector every 2-3 months, to help maintain and increase longevity of water resistance.
