Towing the line between a work boot and a dress boot
Trading waxed leather for a more refined suede, this moc toe boot will carry you from the workshop to dinner at the in-laws without a costume change. Handcrafted at a family-run factory in Leon—the bootmaking capital of Mexico—the bovine leather has just enough give to feel broken-in right out of the box. And yes, the lining and midsole are leather, too. With recraftable Goodyear welt construction, a cobbler will make short work of replacing the sole, putting you back in your favorite boots in no time.
