This lace-up boot is all about comfort. It starts with the leather. The upper is a soft, vegetable-tanned Wernebi nubuck leather, while the inside of the shoe is entirely lined with vegetable-tanned cowhide. The padded, removable insole, which can also be replaced with your own insoles if needed, combined with the natural rubber outsole, ensures comfortable walking and standing even for hours. The latter is slightly raised at the edges to protect the shoe. Notable visual details include the change from a nubuck leather upper to a circumferential smooth leather strap, as well as the distinctive moccasin stitching on the front vamp.Werner Shoes. With a Proven Fit. Comfortable to Wear. Two aspects characterise Werner shoes: natural leathers – if in any way possible chrome-free and vegetable tanned – and a comfortable feel thanks to tried and tested fittings. The family business founded in 1911 is, after all, still in line with its traditional claim to produce beautiful and good shoes. What once began with sturdy work and hiking boots developed into a range comprising chic après-ski boots in the 1970s and 80s and progressed up to the current collection of (casual) shoes for men and women, some sporty, some rather elegant. Werner also actively follows new developments in the leather market. For instance, some shoes feature a lining made of olive leather®. In the tannery, they use olive leaves (residues that accumulate during the annual pruning of the trees), the resulting leather is very skin-friendly. For many years, Werner shoes were made at the company’s founding place in Pirmasens. Today the “quilters” and “nippers” work in south-eastern Europe. The raw materials come from Germany and the neighbouring European countries –in unvaryingly guaranteed high quality –, keeping transport distances as short as possible.General product information Men's lace-up boot, Dark brown | Manufactum
