The Bourton is instantly recognisable by its bold wingtip design, traditional pinked edges, and heavy brogue punching. Built on the legendary 4444 last, it features a traditionally generous and roomy country fit with a wide tread and an accommodating toe box. Due to this spacious silhouette, most find they need to drop down half a size from their standard UK dress shoe size for an optimum fit.
Black Hydro Nubuck: Matte Resilience Hydro Nubuck is a premium calf skin that has been gently buffed to create a soft, velvety texture, then treated during the tanning process for maximum utility.
-
Water-Repellent Finish: The specialised "Hydro" treatment ensures that water beads off the surface, making this textured nubuck far more practical and stain-resistant in wet weather than standard suede.
-
Deep Ink-Black Aesthetic: The matte finish of the nubuck absorbs light beautifully, creating a dense, rich black tone that offers a contemporary, uniform look.
-
Full Leather Lining: Lined entirely with soft, breathable natural calf leather to maintain an ideal internal climate and ensure long-term structural integrity.
Technical Build: The All-Weather Foundation Engineered to handle unpredictable elements while maintaining its clean, stealthy profile.
-
Dainite Rubber Sole: Grounded by a British-made Dainite sole, providing excellent traction and slip resistance on wet pavements without adding excessive bulk. The classic studded pattern prevents dirt and debris from clogging the base.
-
Goodyear Welted Construction: Fully Goodyear welted in our Northampton factory, providing a completely watertight seal and ensuring the shoe can be fully resoled and refurbished for decades to come.
-
Tonal Detailing: Completed with matching black eyelets, black laces, and a dark stained welt to preserve its sharp, monochromatic appearance.
