No shoe collection is complete without a pair of sturdy Chukka boots. The rugged Laval Chukkas can be worn effortlessly with your casual outfits, whether you’re sporting your favorite pair of jeans or a sport coat and chinos. The rubber soles provide great shock absorption and will last a very long time. This is especially important if you walk a lot or live in a wet climate.
This product is made from robust pull-up leather sourced from a Gold-Rated tannery based in Arzignano, Italy. Being the highest level of recognition awarded by the Leather Working Group, a Gold rating signifies the leather manufacturer meets the most stringent criteria and demonstrates a strong commitment to mitigating its environmental impact.
Based on classic designs, all of our shoes are crafted to outlast trends and be as stylish in the years to come as they are today. This makes them an excellent investment, especially since you won’t have to replace them as tastes change. You’ll always be in fashion when wearing them with suits, jeans, chinos or trousers.
To ensure your shoes have a firm, stable shape and structural integrity, we humidify the leather of the upper and place it on a foot-shaped mold called a last. There it air dries for at least 72 hours during which time the shape solidifies, and the leather fibers bond together. This guarantees your shoes will retain their shape for a very long time.
Stitched soles are the mark of quality footwear. With the Blake method, a row of stitching attaches the upper, insole, midsole and outsole. This results in a sturdy yet extremely comfortable shoe, plus it’s easy to resole when the time comes.
Robust pull-up leather is created by infusing the hides with hot oil emulsions and natural waxes during the tanning process. It takes on scuffs and scrapes better than any other, and develops an intriguing depth as it’s worn in.
A wholecut piece of soft Vachetta leather lines the interior of your shoes to smooth over any joints or seams. Its natural temperature regulating, moisture absorbing, odor controlling and breathability properties will also keep your feet fresh and comfortable.
The rubber we use for the soles of some shoe styles is vulcanized and blended with other materials, such as recycled rubber, to improve resilience, strength, flexibility and water resistance. Count on them for stability, excellent traction, support and buoyancy.
Abrasion resistant SBR rubber heel caps give you extra traction, support and resilience. They’re attached with serrated brass tacks for extra reinforcement which add to the solid construction and longevity of the heel.
Round, waxed cotton laces present a reserved appearance with a touch of flair. They slide easily through eyelets and tend to stay tied, and the wax helps prevent fraying while prolonging the life of the laces.
Great value shouldn't come at the expense of human dignity. For us, it's equally important to provide an excellent experience to you and to our craftspeople.
