Crimson Chromexcel Office Cap Toe Boot

A classic cap toe in crimson Chromexcel, designed for a dressier feel without sacrificing comfort.

The details are small and they are the whole point: smaller eyelets than a work pattern uses, which is what makes this a versatile office boot rather than a heavy one. The upper is Chromexcel by Horween. Underneath is a micro stud rubber sole built for year-round weatherproof wear, a medium-density compound that offers traction and durability together. The rest is conventional and well made: Goodyear-welt construction on the Leo last, a 360º split-reverse welt, full-grain kip leather lining, antique brass eyelets and speed hooks, vegetable-tanned leather at the insole, welt and midsole, cork filler over a steel shank and full-grain leather heel counters.

Crimson on a cap toe is the compromise between a boot you can wear to work and one you actually want to wear. It is dressier than the plain toe patterns and far less formal than it sounds. This is the pair for someone who wears boots every day and does not want to think about it.
