Our Notes

A black leather high-top on a clean white cupsole, and a shape that's stayed more or less the same since 2016. The collar rises above the ankle and is padded generously all the way round, so it holds the foot without pressing on it, and the panels are cut simply — a plain toe, a curved side seam, a small WVS emboss at the tongue and outer quarter, and nothing else on it. The whole appeal is in the proportion and the colour break.

The upper is Italian vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials), smooth and matte, with the stitching left visible along every panel edge — a fine tonal line tracing the shape of the boot. It laces through metal eyelets in zamak, a durable zinc alloy, with extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester) and metal tips to match.

The sole is where the contrast lives. A hard-wearing cupsole, sidewall-stitched in rubber (10% recycled rubber), with a tan rubber tread underneath — so you get a bright white wall around the base of the black upper and a warm gum edge below it, three clear bands from top to bottom. Look closely at the tan and you'll see flecks of colour through it, which is the recycled content left visible rather than hidden away. Underfoot, a layered insole with a soft memory-foam top on a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU).

They're an easy shape to wear and they carry further than a low trainer does. Black or indigo denim, straight or cuffed, with an oversized knit and a long coat. Wide or barrel-leg jeans with a bit of ankle showing. Cropped tailored trousers when you want something soft above and something solid below. A good pair to keep in rotation from autumn right through the year.

Ethics & Origin

This product is ethically made in Portugal under EU employment, discrimination and health & safety law. It's vegan from the uppers and linings to the glue. It's delivered to you in plastic-free paper and cardboard packaging. We measure the emissions from making and delivering it, and work to a plan to reduce them.

Materials

Upper: Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
Lining: Unlined – the smooth vegan leather and woven textile of the upper sit directly against your foot, light and breathable for summer
Insole: Cushioned layered insole – a soft memory foam top layer over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) cut to fit the shoe
Outsole: Hard-wearing cupsole construction, sidewall-stitched in rubber (10% recycled rubber), with a contrasting tan rubber tread in a herringbone pattern for grip and durability.
Laces: Long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester), with metal lace tips (100% zamak — a durable zinc alloy)

Construction & Features

Shank: Steel shank for stability and support through the arch
Hardware: Metal eyelets and lace tips — both 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy)
Construction: Mounted (cemented) construction – the upper is lasted to shape and the outsole bonded directly underneath. The most widely used construction method in footwear, it gives a clean, flexible build, though the outsole isn't easily resoled
Water Resistance: Water-resistant for everyday wear – keeps you dry in rain, puddles, wet streets, and most winter conditions. Just avoid heavy saturation or full submersion.

Care Guide

Clean: Wipe the uppers and outsoles with warm soapy water and a cloth or soft brush, then towel dry thoroughly. Polish: A synthetic polish can be used to bring back shine and refresh the colour — any synthetic product should work fine, applied as described in its instructions. If your footwear has a burnished effect on the toes and sides (we apply a darker polish to some of our brown vegan leather uppers for effect), this is best reapplied by a cobbler, or at home using a darker shade of polish worked around the toes and sides. Drying: You can dry your footwear on top of or near a radiator or other heat source. Depending on the heat, it can take a few days to dry out the insides fully. Never put your footwear in the washing machine. Deodorising: Don't let your footwear stay damp between wears, especially inside boots, as this can damage the water resistance and let microbes develop, causing a smell. If this happens, dry the footwear thoroughly and use a footwear deodoriser until the smell stops. In extreme cases, wash the insides out with warm soapy water, then dry fully and reapply the deodoriser. Waterproofing (optional): You can treat the uppers with a waterproofing spray to improve durability, stain resistance and water resistance. We recommend doing this every 2–3 months depending on use — most standard waterproofing sprays work fine on our vegan leather.

Size Chart

We've made this chart to help you choose the right size. You'll need your foot length measurement to get started. Once you've found your perfect fit with us, you can typically select the same size for all other models.

Fit and comfort notes:

Width and volume: our footwear is designed with a slightly wider D width fitting, offering more width and volume than most brands.
Materials: we use high quality vegan leather and suede. These materials are stable and won't stretch out significantly over time, so we recommend sizing up for comfort.
The perfect fit: you don't want the shoes to pinch your feet. You should have wiggle room for your toes and no rub points.
Feel: in most cases you'll find our footwear is comfy straight out of the box. Depending on the style or your foot shape, it can sometimes take a few wears for the uppers to soften and mould to your feet.

How to take your foot length measurement

Stand on a hard surface with your heel against a wall.
Measure your foot from the heel (the wall) to the longest point of your toes.
Use this number to find your size in the chart above.

It is helpful to measure both feet, as one foot is often slightly larger than the other. Always choose the size that accommodates your longest foot.
