AW17 – Men’s Collection, Part II
In the Main Collection, we have a new pattern DEENE taking centre stage and a new last, Last No.377 is gladly welcomed into the UK Collection.
Read MoreProduced in June 2016. Last 377 is a Main Collection last, taking a hint of inspiration from the quirky 359. With the excellent fitting qualities of our more recent lasts, development of the 377 last is no different. Another extremely comfortable and distinctly unique last that has a shortened stick length, slimmer back-part and ‘tweaked’ toe shape (than 359). All resulting in an asymmetric, round toed and characterful last, with notions of classic English shoemaking offering a slightly broader appearance in the forepart.
It is believed that a Chukka boot has both a sporting and a military heritage. A Chukka boot (or Desert boot) is constructed using three pieces of outer material – Inside Quarter, Outside Quarter and Vamp with low cut leg (but above the ankle) and two to three eyelets. In contrast, a Derby boot is a fully lined, high leg and all together, more substantial boot with variations similar to a Derby shoe. Chukka boots are usually considered unlined, although lined versions are available and they are often regarded as the most comfortable of all styles.
Heavy weight, high quality rubber sole, made in England and used for Derby shoes and boots. Comfortable with large ridges and high rubber content.
All Goodyear-welted shoes & boots are 100% made in Northampton, England. Slippers & Driving shoes are outsourced to specialist manufacturers.
Last 377 is our latest Main Collection last with an asymmetric round toe. With 'fitting' a development keyword, Last 377 takes its toe shape from our 359 last, but hosts a slimmer back-part and shorter stick length.
