As despicably black and smooth as a killer whale's dermis (the black bits, not the white), this glove-like, Napa leather is as über soft as our nubuck, but smoother and a little waxy to the touch. With no artificial fixers or preservatives, the natural dye will marble a little, over time, resulting in a beautifully varied and matt appearance.

DAS BLACK BOOT is fully lined with the finest calfskin known to humanity, for a ridiculous level of silky soft comfort. It's finished with a dense and durable rubber sole, lovingly debossed with the phrase ICH BIN ATHEIST.

It’s perfectly comfortable in rain and snow, will keep your feet dry, and it’s easy to care for - actually, it doesn’t need maintenance at all, although it won’t mind if you massage it with a little beeswax-based cream every once in a while (although that might be as much for your pleasure, as the boot’s).

*STOP PRESS* - all our boots now come with a bunch of different coloured laces, as standard. It's a bit of a lucky dip - colours depend on availability, so we can't promise anything particular - but we'll definitely send you a fetching range.
