Orion Skies - Boot in Pinot Leather on Gum Outsole

When we developed our AW22 Olympia & Ophelia super nineties inspired LUG sole silhouettes, we knew we had to create a boot on this outsole. The beauty of this new unit is both the durability and its surprising lightness. Both elements we have been able to realise by investing in our own designed outsole molds executed now in rubber, which aside from how great they look - also ensure the ultimate spring and wearability.

The upper itself draws lines of inspiration from our Sunny Boot as well as ... but made to feel more modern with elements ... to keep the feeling radical. 

Runs firm but true to fit. These shoes will feel tight on the first few wears because of how structured the uppers are. The Boxed Leather is especially and intentionally stiff (for durability) - so they do start out feeling firm in a kind of 'school shoe' way. The leather is very high quality and a thick handle so it will take time to warm up and mould to your feet. If you are in-between sizes, we recommend sizing up. You can check out our size guide here.

This is a full leather upper / leather lined shoe so will have natural stretch of around 7 - 10% depending on the amount of pressure applied to the upper. 

Pinot leather upper with a neoprene throat and natural coloured leather lining. We have specifically selected a neutral colour lining to prevent any colour drop occurring on your socks this winter. Gum rubber outsole that features shaded details at the sole edge to create a textural 'wood like' finish on the heel. They look like resin, but wear with the comfort and durability of trainers.

We designed this shoe with the ultimate in 'flat shoe liberation' thinking in the make. Highly versatile, these shoes are smart enough to wear to the studio with a trench, easy enough to wear to school pick up with a juxtaposed and tucked in vintage sweat. Wear them to the rock show with a blazer, with an oversized chunky cable-knit for Saturday morning sharp at brunch, on secret mid-week adventures alone to the gallery to cross town and muse in. They will scatter 'La Garçon' inspired daydreams everywhere they wander and will be the easiest shoes to match with all your moods - ever.

Rad friends this is an extremely high quality leather upper so it does need care. 

Leather is a wonderful material, breathable, durable and beautiful. But without a bit of love it can dry out and deteriorate.

For optimum care, we recommend and sell "Waproo Waterproofer" to protect them from unexpected showers. We recommend spraying monthly on the Full Moon and can send you a reminder if you sign up to our newsletter here.

Polish your leather shoes around once a month and clean when necessary with a leather conditioner and soft rag to remove any dirt accumulated on your travels.

For extra special treatment, polishing can help renew shoes that have developed scratches or other signs of regular wear. Wax and cream polishes available from a local shoe repairer will breath new life into your beloved toe tappers. Once your newly polished shoes have dried you can re-apply a waterproof spray for extra protection.
