Ari Leather Chelsea Boots with Bumper | Black

• As with all leather, expect an 8-10% stretch on wearing, depending on the pressure applied to the upper.

The Ari Chelsea Boot has been constructed with a black boxed leather upper and our signature electric peach lining in super soft sheep skin leather to give you maximum comfort. The stretch added by the elasticised gussets makes it suitable for both narrow and wide feet and the boot will sit snuggly over the foot no matter the shape in it. The throat is intentionally cut narrow so you should open it up and pull it on like a sock.

Executed on a new outsole mold that we call our ‘O-Unit’. A 90s inspired LUG shape that meets the widest extremes of Intertek Abrasion testing and will grip every kind of footpath terrain we can imagine you wearing these shoes in.

• Leather Upper / Leather Lining / Injection Mold Rubber Outsole 
• Made responsibly in small batches by one of our boutique manufacturing partners in China

Toss on for a day of errands in your overalls on a Saturday, or mindfully merge with a fitted denim utility suit for a Thursday night dinner date.

We love playing up the architectural qualities of this shoe with workwear inspired pin tuck pants and man-style shirts for the studio. We also LOVE these shoes with dresses, especially contrasting long line satin and floaty shapes with the heaviness of this outsole.

As always it's about the juxtaposition of something quite feminine up top to play up to the more masculine lines of this shoe. Radical and Yes!

• Clean when necessary with a leather conditioner and soft rag to remove any dirt.
• Regular waterproofing is essential to protect from unexpected showers. Try our Waproo Waterproofer at least once a month on the Full Moon - we’ll send you a reminder when you sign up to our newsletter. Yes, we still care even when they’re in your hands!
• Polish your boots once a month using wax or cream polishes such as Shoe Doctor Letha-Glo Cream to help rejuvenate your shoes from scratches and other signs of regular wear. Once your newly polished shoes have dried, you can re-apply a waterproof spray for extra protection.
