Bliskavka Zip Up Boot Black Kudu, Size 11

This is pair is one of Mikhail’s experiments. One of the samples that was re-crafted entirely by hand with the process documented in this post (https://www.arnoshoes.com/blogs/news/shoe-tear-down-and-rebuild). This boot is the Bliskavka zip-up boot, reimagined in a more elegant style. The leather outsole and slim side profile can easily blend in with a formal outfit, while the rugged Kudu leather and the contrasted white sole stitching still keeps a casual air about them. This is a beautiful boot that is built to last, the hand-welted construction is the most durable form of shoemaking techniques, since the holdfast that the welt is attached to is cut directly into a beefy 6.5mm vegetable tanned insole. The sole profile is kept low and comfortable with a single leather sole, with a Vibram sole protector added that will make these boots ready for any weather.Details: 6.5 mm thick Vegetable Tanned Insole; Hand-welted construction; Vegetable Tanned calf lining with a red heel stripe, Kudu
