A traditional moc toe boot, part of our new line-up of workwear boots from the well-renowned Spanish brand Yanko. Made in a medium brown / chestnut coloured pull-up leather from the Spanish tannery Combalia, who have tanned leather outside of Barcelona since year 1900. Pull-up leather is aniline dyed and then finished with waxes and oils for excellent resistance and a soft touch, and when stretched it becomes lighter coloured in these areas, which means a natural, lovely character will develop with use.
Goodyear welted and with a proper 360° sole stitch made through a leather midsole, then a super lightweight XL Extralight wedge rubber sole. Built on the W982 last with a high, round toe box. Fully leather lined, brass eyelets, heel stiffeners in leather board which conforms well to your feet. We're pleased to be able to offer welted boots fully made in Europe from full grain leather at such a competitive price. They need to go through the factory a little quicker and the level of finishing is a bit more basic, but it's surely a lot of shoes for the money, and after all it's footwear that's meant to take a beating.
Yanko was founded in 1961, and is one of the oldest still existing brands of quality welted shoes in Spain. They were a giant in the 80s, producing over a million pairs of shoes a year. Nowadays the brand is much smaller, still with a solid reputation as an affordable manufacturer of everything from men's dress shoes and boots to classic Belgian loafers.
