Iron Chelsea (All Leather MTO)

About Bootmaker

All Iron Boots are fully handmade by our bootmaker Kai and 5 teammates together in a small studio at Guangzhou. They are built in handwelt or hand stitchdown, with channelled insole construction, which are stronger and last longer than normal Goodyear welted shoes/boots made by machines. Each pair is 100% hand welted, hand last, hand bottomed, and also hand-sewn outsole stitch.

About Boots:

• Iron Chelsea is taller than other boots, which is just shy of 7 inches
• High spi (depends on construction, usually 7-10)
• Using felt as filler (instead of cork)
• Using leather shank (instead of steel)
• Using leather as stiffener for both toe and heel (structured toe)
• Dr Sole rubber sole included
  
• Express shipping included
• Note : photos are Red Brown Guidi horsehide (TCO), teak featurestone Chelsea (TCO), teak featurestone Chelsea (Chisel), black waxed bullhide Chelsea (Zero). Devil Dog last is wider than Zero last but narrower than TCO last.
• Note : not suggest to use any stiff leather, like TPR horsebutt
