Crafted for uncompromising durability and timeless style, the Men's Engineer Boots 501 are built from the finest materials to last a lifetime.
Premium Suportlo Leather from HAAS Tannery, France
These boots are constructed from supple, greased calf leather, meticulously double-tanned using both chrome and vegetable methods. This unique Suportlo leather is barrel-dyed and then greased in a hot oven, a process that enhances its inherent strength and provides superior natural waterproofness. As a full-grain leather (2-2.2mm thick), it undergoes no surface correction, proudly showcasing the natural markings and characteristics of the hide. This results in a robust, durable boot that is highly resistant to loose grain.
Natural Bloom & Care
A light, frost-like bloom may appear on the surface due to the rich wax and grease content reacting to changes in temperature and humidity. This is a natural characteristic of the well-oiled leather and confirms its high quality. This bloom will disappear with wear and may reappear if the boots are stored for long periods. To quickly remove it, gently use a hairdryer on a warm setting for 1-2 minutes or wipe with a soft cloth.
