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 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

Lead Time:

Due to Chinese New Year holiday break and end of year surge, orders from Nov. - Feb. usually will take around 5-8 months to finish.
