The other part of the boot — the shank and shaft — is made from Harris Tweed. Per the brand, this tweed is “dyed, blended, spun, woven, finished, examined and stamped only in the Scottish Outer Hebrides by local crofters and artisans.” It’s also made from 100-percent virgin wool.
Not only does this combination add refinement to the typically rough and rugged boot, but it also helps keep your feet warm in cooler weather, as wool is an excellent insulator.
New looks, same old stompers
While the upper materials of these boots make for quite the stylistic departure, they are still, at their core, a pair of 1460s. That means they have the same classic silhouette, eight-eyelet height and more.
In fact, some of the construction is faithful to the standard version of these boots. For instance, they maintain the signature yellow stitching on the sole and large pull tab at the top of the collar.
