Crafted in Dark Brown Prairie Waxy Commander Suede
The defining feature of these new styles is the use of dark brown Prairie Waxy Commander suede from the renowned tannery CF Stead, based in Leeds, England. This suede is anything but ordinary—it's a rugged, character-rich leather that offers more than meets the eye. Using a specialized tannage process, CF Stead shrinks the suede’s fiber structure by up to 25%, producing a leather that’s both unique in texture and durable over time.
This compact fiber structure ensures that the leather won’t stretch or distort, even around the toe area, allowing these shoes to maintain their shape and style with extended wear. An infusion of waxes enhances its deep, earthy tones, while the rich dyes work harmoniously with the wax for a beautiful, natural texture that becomes even more distinctive as the shoes age. Even better, Prairie Waxy Commander suede is fully waterproof, so you can step out confidently, no matter the weather.
Goodyear Welted Construction and Dainite Rubber Soles
Both the Brogue boot and Chelsea Boot feature Goodyear welted Dainite rubber soles, ensuring a robust build that’s resilient to wear and tear. Made in England by the esteemed Harboro Rubber Company in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, Dainite soles are known for their superb grip and durability. Each sole is adorned with large studs, designed to offer dependable traction on both wet and dry surfaces. The combination of Goodyear welting and Dainite soles offers unmatched protection from the elements while delivering an undeniably classic look.
The 207 Last – A True-to-Size Fit with a Round Toe Shape
Both styles are crafted on Berwick 1707’s popular 207 last, which is characterized by its elegant round toe shape. This last offers a true-to-size fit, making it easy to order the perfect size without concern. The 207 last’s balanced proportions provide both comfort and a versatile look that pairs seamlessly with both casual and semi-formal attire.
Versatile Style, Uncompromising Quality
The new 322 Brogue boot and 303 Chelsea Boot by Berwick 1707 in dark brown Prairie Waxy Commander suede aren’t just greaty boots; they’re investments in quality, designed to become more beautiful with age. From the careful selection of CF Stead’s exclusive suede to the expertly crafted Goodyear welted construction and the high-performance Dainite soles, these shoes reflect the best of traditional shoemaking combined with modern durability.
