Since everything we do is made by hand, there can be a slight variation between pieces (up to 2% either way is considered within tolerance). Natural fibres can also shift slightly during production, with a bit of stretch or shrinkage being part of the process.

Materials & Care
  • Wheatbuck Waxy Commander suede - from the Charles F. Stead and Co tannery, Leeds. Shrunk by 25% to prevent stretching and impregnated with a number of waxes for water resistance.
  • Vibram 2060 Sahara wedge sole - Fully replaceable.
  • Sprung sole - For forward momentum / super-fast perambulation.
  • Brass rivets - For extra strength in high stress areas.
  • Leather through-sole
  • Leatherboard insole
  • Leather collar - Inside top of boot.
  • Vamps are lined with woollen felt.

When the boots get wet allow them to dry thoroughly in the air and away from heat sources. Do not put them on a radiator or in front of the fire as this will damage the suede. To clean, gently brush away any dirt using a natural horse hair brush. If you need to do more, just wipe with a damp cloth. When dry dab sparingly with dubbin.

When the Vibram sole wears out, they can be resoled by your local cobbler.

No bike required - just bring your feet

Crafted from highly water-resistant Waxy Commander suede, sourced from the renowned Charles F. Stead tannery in Leeds, and set on a cushioned Vibram wedge sole, these boots are made for city streets and paved paths.Durable, comfortable, and fully repairable. British-made to last like everything we do.

Built strong to take a beating, the Moto Boots are the one pair of boots that many customers swear is their first choice for days on the motorbike, in the workshop, the craft beer bar and the walk to work. We’ve seen photos of them in action on the streets of Kathmandu and Shoreditch and know how good they are because we wear them too.

Made for us by William Lennon & Co, England’s last remaining heavy work boot maker, founded in 1897 and still a family business to this day. A defining feature of their boots is the construction. The uppers are screwed directly into the sole using a rare BUSM Rapid Standard brass wire screwing machine. There are only four of these machines known to exist today, three of which are at William Lennon’s factory. This method of sole attachment predates Goodyear welt, and is still one of the strongest methods ever used.

Underfoot the Moto City Boots you’ll find a Vibram wedge sole, ideal for tarmac and pavements. It’s softer and more forgiving than the traditional commando soles we’ve used on our other boots, making the Moto City feel like walking on a cloud, perfect for all-day wear. There’s a neatly stitched leather collar around the top for added comfort and tip-top quality finish.

All our boots are unlined by design. Linings are often the first thing to fail and can’t be replaced. Everything on the Moto Boot can. They’re fully repairable and re-soleable, built to be fixed up and worn for many years to come.
