Boots
Men's and women's leather-upper boots, from chukka and Chelsea styles to lace-up ankle and work-style boots.
About boots
Leather boots are made in the same clusters as Indian formal and casual shoes, using the same tanneries and skilled lasting and stitching. Styles range from refined ankle boots to heavier lace-up boots, in men's and women's sizes.
Boots take more leather and more finishing than shoes, so sample approval matters: we agree the leather, sole unit, lining and stitching with you on a pre-production sample before an order is placed.
