Coniston, a higher leg derby boot with a straight toe cap. Made from rugged black rough-out suede with Vibram cleated rubber soles with a storm welt for added water resistance. From THE BLACK EDITIONS, an audacious collection of English footwear, influenced by Japanese style.

Rough-out suede is a material that ‘roughs-up’ during wear. Over time, it takes on a rugged, worn aesthetic which makes it our most casual material in the collection. If left uncared for, you will find it lightens and continues to become rougher in look and feel. However, rough-out suede very much benefits from an annual covering in dubbin to uphold its water resistance. An application of dubbin will also darken down the leather, and reduce its rough appearance bringing back some ‘newness’.

When ordered online, all rough-out suede shoes/boots are pre-treated before they are shipped. If in store, you can also speak to our staff about caring for rough-out suede.
