Silex Derby Boot

Norwegian welted boots are not everyone’s taste, but we love them. The exposed welt stitching is eye-catching and makes it very clear that they are handmade.

This pair are a copy of a pair we made a couple of years ago. The customer fell in love with them but wanted a rounder toe and a blue lining. Your wish is our command, dear customer.

They are made from Siena veg tan calf by Badalassi Carlo, our favourite Tuscan tannery. The royal blue lining is bold and the navy blue tugs on the backseam compliment it perfectly. The customer chose antique brass eyelets and a row of three rivets iin the waist. He originally wanted eyelets in the waist but thought his rainy hometown would mean wet socks too often. The rivets are a good compromise.
