Water-repellent Suede Chelsea Boots
Arditi Sand
Set at a mid height, which is slightly lower than a traditional Chelsea boot, Arditi is produced in our artisan factory in Italy on the Bologna construction, which replaces the traditional insole board with a leather 'sock' giving the boot greater flexibility. We source the soft Ripasso tan calf suede from the famous Steads Tannery in Leeds and have lightly oiled the toe and heel counter for an antiqued effect. The twin elastic gussets are in a contrasting deep navy, and we've included a suede back pull tab and a full leather lining and insock. The St Moritz rubber sole is cleated and practical with a slim profile.

The Bologna Construction
This Italian speciality dates from the early 1900s. The upper is stitched to a soft leather sock rather than a traditional insole board, to form a 'glove'. This is then Blake Stitched from the inside of the shoe to the sole. The resultant sleek profile produces an exceptionally comfortable formal shoe.
