Gordon Heritage Boot Wingtip Brogue

The Story: A detailed boot fit for any dress occasion

Details:

This fully lined wingtip and brogue Derby boot is made using calf, kangaroo, yearling or bovine leather. It is also made on our dress shoe lasts, the Cambridge and Stanley, to give it a more refined look.

Style: Wingtip Brogue Derby Boot

Upper: Choose between bovine, kangaroo, yearling and calf

Prices will vary depending on leather chosen and sole. Kangaroo leather has more texture and markings, the skin is strong, but it’s also very fine in thickness. The veg-tan roo also is a dry leather and thus high maintenance in that it needs regular conditioning to avoid it drying out. Yearling has similar body to bovine leather, but has a smoother grain and a more polished finish. It is also more readily dyed. Yearling and bovine are our preferred choices for regular wear. Baby calf leather is like the cashmere of leather and the choice for high gloss potential, formal occasions and quite infrequent wear. Bovine is a great choice for regular wear.

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.

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.

Sole: 5mm Italian oak tanned, hand waxed, Blake stitched or blake rapid leather sole. Stacked leather heel, Vibram top piece.

Sizing: Available from sizes 6-13 in two different width fittings (see size chart for width and toe shape availability). Stanley toe shape available in the narrow D fitting from size 6-13AU. Stanley toe shape only available in the wider E fitting from size 7-12.5AU. Cambridge toe shape available in the wider E fitting from size 6-13AU. Cambridge toe shape only available in the narrow D fitting from size 6, 7-12AU. 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 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.
