    • Built to Last

      Crafted using the traditional Goodyear welt method and all European leather, you can rest assured: this pair is built to last.

    • Full Leather Lining

      The softest calf leather touches every part of your foot. Leather lining increases the shoe's durability, wicks away moisture more efficiently, and prevents smelly feet.

    • Waxed Leather Upper

      Waxing leather is a traditional and effective way to weatherproof footwear. This leather is particularly robust, yet simultaneously supple and comfy. It's also hard-wearing: scuffs and creases only add to its character.

    • Goodyear Welt Construction

      Considered the golden standard in sustainable footwear, this 150-year-old method attaches the uppers to the soles in a way that ensures the highest durability and allows for easy repairs.

    • Cork Footbed

      Between the insole and midsole lies a layer of agglomerated cork that, over time, molds to the shape of your foot, making the shoe more comfortable with every step.

    • Rubber Commando Sole

      As this 100% real rubber sole breaks in, it becomes soft on the foot yet maintains its sturdiness, giving you stability on any terrain.
      The midsole is cut from a veg tan leather bend.

    • Rubber Heel

      This commando sole and heel are made from a single piece of 100% real rubber.

    FAQ

    What last (shape & fit) is used for this pair?

    THE MICHAEL LAST

    Rounded toe box, slightly increased width, medium arch support

    Nearly three years were spent on its incremental development in collaboration with Michael James, the master last maker from the Springline company in Northampton, England.

    Besides looking beautiful, the shape fits incredibly comfortable, as has been confirmed by all of our customers. People of all heights, weights, and sizes.

    Where is Lennertson located?

    We're a Belgian-Dutch company based in the North-Eastern Limburg area of Belgium. Here we do our everyday work like designing shoes and communicating with customers.
    Lennertson is also made up of the countless people who contribute to our mission. Be it our lastmaker in England, our craftspeople in Spain and Portugal, or you who wears our shoes anywhere in the world.

    Ethical labor: What is Lennertson's policy?

    We grew up in working-class families and greatly admire the men and women who make our footwear. Fair & safe labor conditions are essential to us. We produce locally within the European Union, where the highest standards of these laws and rights are applied. We choose to only collaborate with companies that share our values. Being close allows us to visit frequently and maintain a close relationship with all our partners.

    Sustainable fashion: Where does Lennertson source materials?

    This question isn't actually asked frequently because customers fall in love with our shoes from the moment they open the box.

    Lennertson shoes and boots are made in a traditional and artisanal way.

    The process involves a lot of handcraft, and when machines are used, it's always a person's hand guiding the shoe. As such, it's perfectly possible for you to see slight imperfections: two stitches that are not the exact same size, slight color variations, etc.

    A computer makes things perfect. A human makes things with passion, care, and unique character. That's how we see it, and we believe you will too.

    We also choose to work with 'natural leathers'—uncorrected grain that isn't overly processed or coated. Its surface structure should not be perfectly uniform; but may include natural blemishes and marks reflecting its origins. Our leathers look and feel authentic because they are—made from an animal's skin.

    'Handmade': Why are there imperfections in my shoes?
