A lovely Norwegian Split Toe, NST, boot, part of our new line-up of workwear boots from the well-renowned Spanish brand Yanko. Goodyear welted and with a proper 360° sole stitch with a storm welt, for extra water resistance, with a durable studded Vibram rubber sole. Built on the W923 last with a round toe box.
Made in suede from the world famous British tannery Charles F. Stead, in their Repello Gum Oil in the brown shade Snuff. An extra durable suede with a slightly oily finish that gives a nice depth of colour and can withstand rough treatment. 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 is one of the oldest still existing classic shoe brands from Spain, founded in 1961. They were one of the world's largest manufacturers of Goodyear welted shoes in the late 20th century, producing over a million pairs of shoes each year. Today they are much smaller, but have a solid reputation as an affordable manufacturer of everything from men's dress shoes and boots to classic Belgian loafers.
