OUR CHELSEA BOOTS

Ethically made in Mexico, Goodyear-welted, with vegetable-tanned leather and soles out of recycled airplane tires.

Roots

Inspired by the original charro boot, we keep the traditions of the Mexican craftmanship alive.

Goodyear-Welting

The process

Every pair of CANO boots is lasted completely by hand, requiring a lot of skills and experience. But the result is outstanding: A comfortable and perfectly fitting pair of leather boots.

First, the pieces for the boots need to be cut out of the vegetable tanned leather hides. After the leather pieces are formed and stitched together, they get shaped around a wooden form of a foot, called shoe last.

To ensure extra comfort and durability, our boots are Goodyear-welted. That makes them easy to repair and guarantees them a long life.
