Why we love The Alexia low

The Alexia low eco is warm with a fuzzy wool lining, and water resistant with a membrane between the outer leather and inner lining. Made in European eco leather. Plus it looks frigging amazing. Need we say more? 

Fit: Choose your normal size. Fits most feet, from narrow to normal and wider. 

Colour: Black and brown on a black sole. The brown leather may vary in nuance from light to darker. This is due to colour variations in different batches of this premium eco certified leather.

Heel hight: 3 cm at the heel and 2 cm at the toe. Materials: European outer eco leather in black and brown, treated to be water resistant, leather shaft, inner lining in wool (mulesing-free) and a waterproof membrane that guarantees your feet stay dry. Rubber mix sole. Removable insole.

The grain sometimes has small differences in its finish, meaning the grain does not always have the exact same flatness and finish even within the same pair. This is because the leather has been tanned in a non toxic process. This gives a natural patina, and does not effect the overall look of the shoe.

Made in Portugal, under strict European environmental regulations. Our factories are powered by 100 % renewable energy.

When buying this product you are supporting responsible leather tanning and manufacturing. All leathers are certified by Leather Working Group, who are dedicated to pushing for environmental best practice throughout the leather supply chain.

Wear with: Wear The Alexia with a parkas for a slow walk in the woods, or over skinny denims with a cozy wool knit for a chic city look.

Care: Treat the shaft with a nubuck and suede spray every now and then for extra protection, dirt can be removed with a suede brush. Give the leather in the bottom foot part a round with some neutral shoe grease if the shoe gets dirty or dry, start by wiping the boot off with a damp cloth to get rid of excess dirt. A little shoe spa weekly or monthly extends the life and look of all leather shoes.

Why we love the Baltimore

The Baltimore is a contemporary Chealsea boot on a chunky sole, with a treated and water repellent outer leather, and a water resistant inner membrane.  So why is a leather rain boot a better option than one in plastic?

Leather ages beautifully, unlike plastic, and won't crack or get dry, and unlike plastic, leather is breathable and wont choke your feet.

Fit: Fits most feet.

Colour: Black on a black sole.

Heel hight: Approximately 4 cm at its highest point in the back and 2,5 at the toe.

Wear with a parkas and a knit for a comfy and ready-for-any-type-of-wheather look in fall, or with wool socks and a down jacket in winter. Since this boot does not have a warm lining (add a warm wool sock on a cold day), The Baltimore can be worn as a rain boot even in spring and summer. 

Care: The outer leather surface of The Baltimore is already treated to be resistant to water, so no need for any extra care from your end - it's a jump-in-and-go type of boot. If your The Baltimore boot gets dirty just use a damp cloth and/or a gentle brush to wipe off the leather, then let dry before using your boot again.
