Rancourt Caramel Shell Cordovan Porter Boots Lactae Hevea Soles US 11 B ($750)

  
We're generally rather humble about our work, modesty is a virtue. However, this is an occasion that calls for bombast; the Porter boot is the most beautiful boot we've ever made. Thanks, in part, to the stunning Genuine Shell Cordovan used to make them. We took natural, unglazed shell cordovan and dyed it by hand using specially formulated aniline dyes. These dyes penetrate the leather to give the Shell this incredible depth of color and rich finish.

Making these custom colors of Shell Cordovan, is an exhausting 10 step process that includes applying three coats of dye and then waiting at least 24 hours for it to dry before adding the finishing top coats. The shell gets multiple layers of wax and special, all natural, proprietary finishing creams before being burnished and buffed to perfection. This quarter brogue cap-toe boot is all about the details, we've pulled out all the stops to present you with the best craftsmanship we could muster. The Porter boot also includes braided waxed boot laces.

The bottoms are a very popular combination of leather midsole with a leather storm welt and a Lactae Hevea natural rubber sole. The Lactae Hevea Cricket soles are crafted with a storm welt to give it just the right amount of ruggedness and comfort. Antique brass eyelets provide a solid foundation for these beautiful laces with the top two rows being "speed hooks" for easy on and off. While the Porter Boot may look like a casual boot, the sophistication present in this masterpiece makes it very easy to pull off with a heavy weight wool or tweed suit or your favorite pair of jeans.

It's best paired with wool trousers. Horween Shell Cordovan - the finest leather in the world. Fully lined with tan cowhide. Lactae Hevea natural rubber outsole - highly durable. Natural leather midsole with storm welt. Why We Love Lactae Hevea Soles. Our favorite footwear to wear is almost always equipped with Reltex Lactae Hevea outsoles.

Lactae Hevea soles are made from all-natural rubber and offer a great balance of comfort and durability. Lactae Hevea soles are handmade in France by Reltex. The company invented this process of making outsoles from 100% natural latex rubber.

The soles go through a 12 day curing process that builds a structure of microscopic air bubbles within the soles, giving them their signature comfort. Despite the soft cushiony feel of the sole they are still highly durable. These beautiful handmade in Maine, USA shell cordovan cap toe boots are in excellent pre-owned condition.
