SLOANE black forest commando boots.

Handcrafted in Italy and constructed from Italian buffalo skin leather, which is hand buffered with colour and then carefully discoloured, waxed and brushed to create luxurious nuances and shades of uneven intensity.

To create a distressed, urban look, this style also undergoes an exclusive antiquing process called stone washing, consisting in washing the shoe in open washing machines filled with water and pumice stones.

The SLOANE collection features hand built water buffalo leather outsoles, cut from the double butt of the hide, where the thickness is about 7mm. For added traction and grip, tiny holes are cut into the leather, and individually injected with a liquefied rubber compound which fuses irreversibly with the leather.

• Handcrafted in Italy.
• Constructed with full grain buffalo leather, the finest part of the hide. 
• Dip dyed, stone-washed, waxed and brushed for added depth and character. Each artisanal brush stroke creates a unique patina which makes each pair one of a kind.
• Superior Blake stitched construction, for exceptional sole flexibility and comfort, and ease of re-soling for years of wear.
• Outfitted with hand built buffalo leather outsoles, a rarity in the industry due to the extraordinary level craftsmanship required to construct them. These soles are lighter and more flexible than rubber soles but offer more traction and grip than traditional leather soles. 
• Height of sole: 2 cm.
• Lined with subtle Italian calfskin.
• Ultra-comfortable foam cushion footbed that moulds to your foot, embossed with logo in silver foiling.
• 8 eyelets, with tone on tone waxed cotton laces.
• Comes with branded high-quality cotton shoe bags for travel and one extra pair of waxed laces.

NOTE: Runs big in size. Choose a size smaller than your normal fit.

Our shoes and boots are are all dip dyed and stone-washed and treated for a worn-in, distressed look, so don’t need to be kept pristine. They are meant to be lived in and become part of your story. The more worn-in the cooler they become, displaying a lifetime of memories and stories.

That said, regularly caring your shoes will nourish them, increasing their softness, waterproof and comfort. And, it goes without saying, the more you care for your shoes, the longer the will last.
