CORDOVAN CHUKKA BOOTS 905 SIMPSON

Simpson is the sister last of the Rain, and one of the most popular lasts. This last was conceived as a fashionable last. However, it was designed to be a timeless last that did not have excessive features. It has an elongated forepart and a fine squared-off toe, and fitting is slightly narrower at the toe area when compared to the Rain.  This last is usually the best choice for more elegant models, and it is often manufactured with a plain leather sole. Compared to our other lasts, we describe it as a narrow last in E width. Clients usually tend to go up half a size in comparison to their usual Carmina size.

Shell Cordovan is a staple material of fine men’s shoemaking. Shell cordovan looks smooth, lustrous, and richly coloured in shades of burgundy, brown, and black. Shell Cordovan is a much more labour-intensive leather than cowhide. Cordovan shoe will age very well and develop a particularly beautiful patina over time. The name Shell comes from the circular shape of the skin. Today, only a few factories in the world tan shell cordovan. Among them, the most recognized is Horween, which is based in Chicago and run by the Horween family. The Cordovan shoes will age gracefully and develop a particularly beautiful patina over time. All our leather is sourced from the Horween Leather Company of Chicago.

Silver are thicker soles with greater texture than the York and Tomir soles. They also cover and protect the complete sole which make them perfect for laced shoes worn on rainier days or cobblestoned streets. Silver are great options for boots.
