Our Stitchdown Collection is masterfully crafted in England from start to finish. The Grove desert shoes is a below ankle, 4 eyelet pattern. Sat atop a natural crepe sole that is extremely hardwearing, lightweight, and comfortable. The upper is made from rich Chromexcel leather from the world-famous Horween tannery in Chicago USA, known for their extremely high-quality leathers. Internally the boot is unlined as the leather upper is self backed which increases wearer comfort. The footbed is traditionally half lined with natural leather and a soft, cushioned heel pad.

Horween Chromexcel leather is a one of a kind due to its unique tanning process that is unchanged since its creation in Chicago, USA 1905. The Most striking character is its pullup, a process called hot stuffing allows the oils in the leather to move around causing subtle colour variation on flex and stress points. Chromexcel will be firm on first wear, but then break in gradually, softening and moulding to the wearer's individual foot shape.

The four main shoemaking stages once an order is placed...

Clicking

The ‘clicking’ or cutting process as it is also known is the very start of your shoes being made, the leather is cut into the shapes that make up your silhouette either by hand or on a press.

Closing

Once all the components of the shoe are cut they go through several processes that are essential to the construction then they are sewn together to make the upper.

Lasting

A last is a template form that is unique to each shoe size and style, the upper is pulled onto the last to give it the final shape of the shoe ready for a sole to be fitted. Once the sole is fitted the shoe will have it’s complete form.

Shoe Rooming

The final stage of the factory process your shoes go through the hands of our quality checkers and the finish is applied to the leather or suede to finish the shoe and ensure it looks it’s absolute best.
