The Story: A boot fit for any occasion

Details:

This fully lined Derby boot is made using bovine leather. This thick yet supple leather makes for a durable and comfortable boot that will mould and age with the wearer.

This Gordon Boot uses the Gordon last and has a more defined, ridged toe shape on the side profile.

The Gordon Heritage Boot collection opens up the world of options when it comes to designing your perfect boot. It is the epitome of customisation, where you can choose everything from sole construction and material, a very broad range of upper colours (more swatches available in store), size of eyelets or whether opting for speed hooks, topline details, etc. There are literally over a billion possible combinations when it comes to choices for our Gordon boot. Pictures shown on the website are used to either help you with aesthetic ideas over what you might or might not like before making your own choice. You may see other examples on our Instagram @wootten_ that may not be featured here also.

Style: Derby boot

Upper: Bovine

Topline: The topline is the detail along the top edge of the boot from the backstrap all the way down past the eyelets to where the quarters end. Raw is our preference as it is a more durable method of construction. Bound involves a thin layer of leather binding folded and stitched into the topline. Over time this bound edge is less strong than just the durable thickness of the quarters at the edge. The bound edge may be considered to be dressier, so you might see it more often on our Cambridge or Stanley toe examples.

Eyelets & Hooks: Choose small or large eyelets and whether you want speed Hooks or not. Please note our Paracord Boot Laces will only fit through the large eyelets. Our preference is to do the Gordon boot in the Gordon toe with the large antique brass eyelets as they offset the leather and our brass aglet tipped shoelaces nicely.

Sole: Leather mid-sole, hand waxed, McKay Welt (Blake Rapid) with leather or rubber sole. Stacked leather heel. Please note that selecting the extra 6mm rubber on the forefoot will inherently raise the heel height by 6mm too.

Please list the laces you're after with your boot in the Notes section of your order.

Please note if adding a 3mm padded insert, an extra 3mm of volume is lasted around the size of the boot you choose. This padding is removeable. So if choosing this option and removing the padding, it effectively gives you 3mm of extra volume through the whole boot. This is useful when someone has a wider ball measurement but doesn't want to go up in length. Alternatively when left inside, it gives you 3mm of padding when inside the boot without changing the standard size of what you've selected.

Please note that all our footwear is made-to-order. Lead times can be found in our footer below for leather goods and footwear.

Please note that there is natural variation in colours of leather between hide to hide.
