COMPOSITE TOE

COMPOSITE TOE

We use leather specifically designed to prevent your feet from gathering bacteria. Compare our boots to cheaper synthetic materials which can leave your smelling feet.

LEATHERS

Leather tanning is crucial to ensure the quality of your boots. All our leathers are locally sourced and eco-friendly. What does it mean?  All the chemicals and water used to tan the leather are recycled and treated. The water is pumped from a local source, used, cleaned, treated, tested and brought back to where it comes from. The internet is full of documentaries exposing the toxicity of leather tanning. Our compromise is to have 0 impacts on the local ecosystem.
