The Daniel is our iconic plain-toe tramping shoe, cutting a clean and unadorned profile by omitting decorative brogueing and heavy stitching. Built on the legendary 4497s last—the traditional foundation of our classic country boots—it provides a generous and highly secure fit. This construction yields a spacious toe box, an accommodating fit across the vamp, and excellent support through the waist, delivering boot-like stability in a versatile shoe silhouette.
Black Hydro Nubuck: Matte Resilience Hydro Nubuck is a premium calf skin that has been expertly buffed to create a soft, tactile surface, then specially treated during the tanning process for maximum longevity.

Water-Repellent Finish: The specialised "Hydro" treatment ensures that moisture beads straight off the surface, making this textured leather incredibly practical and highly stain-resistant during wet weather.

Tonal Accents: Finished with matching black eyelets, black laces, and a dark stained welt to preserve its clean, monochromatic appearance.
