Part of our line-up of workwear boots from the famous Spanish brand Yanko, we have this classic take on a service boot. Made in a medium brown / chestnut coloured pull-up leather from the Spanish tannery Combalia, who have tanned leather outside of Barcelona since year 1900. Pull-up leather is aniline dyed and then finished with waxes and oils for excellent resistance and a soft touch, and when stretched it becomes lighter coloured in these areas, which means a natural, lovely character will develop with use.
Available in two different lasts, the newest addition is the W934 which has a round slightly roomier toe, very classic for service boots, and then the W961 last with a slightly more elongated and sloping round toe. Underneath is a very durable Vibram rubber sole that has good grip also during minus degrees. Goodyear welted, fully leather lined, heel stiffeners in leather board which conforms well to your feet. Sturdy shoes made to withstand heavy use.
We're pleased to be able to offer welted boots fully made in Europe from full grain leather at such a competitive price. They need to go through the factory a little quicker and the level of finishing is a bit more basic, but it's surely a lot of shoes for the money, and after all it's footwear that's meant to take a beating.
Yanko is one of the oldest still active classic shoe brands from Spain, founded in 1961. They were one of the world's largest manufacturers of Goodyear welted shoes in the late 20th century, producing over a million pairs of shoes each year. Today they are much smaller, but have a solid reputation as an affordable manufacturer of everything from men's dress shoes and boots to classic Belgian loafers.
