Derby Boot

LIMITED RUN
Sale price$2,250 CAD

For our first boot, we went back to the archive.

For our inaugural footwear release, we returned to our roots. The Derby Boot is a pattern years in the making, drawn from a classic silhouette in the Love Jules Leather archive and refined in a new standard for fit, material and durability. Cut from full-grain leather and hand-welted in small batches, it is designed for the long haul and the kind of heavy use that earns a boot its soul.

Ready to ship: one finished pair in size 10D, in Natural Horween Dublin leather with a Vibram 430 Mini-Lug sole, is available now. Buy Now

Horween Dublin leather swatches in Natural and Black.Leather

We chose Horween Dublin for its visceral depth and refusal to wear out. This vegetable-tanned hide is infused with a century-old formula of oils and waxes, providing immediate structure that yields to your stride over time. This is the kind of leather that keeps a record. It softens, marks, and deepens honestly.

Natural: A living finish. It starts light and deepens into a honeyed patina dictated by your climate and your path.

Black: A matte, architectural black that maintains its silhouette while quietly recording the marks of a life well-lived.

Each pair is engineered using traditional hand-welted construction, a disciplined, labor-intensive process that yields a boot of superior flexibility and structural integrity. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, hand-welting allows the leather to breathe and move with the foot from day one. The Derby Boot is fully recraftable, designed to be resoled as the years accumulate.

The two outsole options for the Derby Boot: Vibram 430 Mini-Lug and Eton Studded.Durable Foundation

The Derby Boot is anchored by a natural leather midsole and your choice of two Vibram® outsoles, each selected to dictate the boot’s character without compromising its foundation. Both foundations are selected to support the upper in different environments, allowing you to choose how the boot meets the world.

430 Mini-Lug: A versatile lug sole with strong grip and a slightly more rugged stance. Good for all-weather city wear and more varied ground.

Eton Studded: A refined, dress-informed sole with a sleek underfoot profile. This option offers a more formal lean and a sophisticated finish, while retaining the resilience required for daily use.
