BLKBRD Rudiger X service boot in Natural Horween Chromexcel

A Different Way To Join The Upper And Sole

In stitchdown construction, the lower edge of the upper turns outward and is stitched to a sole layer. This creates a different relationship between the upper and sole from a separately welted shoe.

The construction name does not tell you everything about the finished boot. Compare the outsole, leather and last as well: the crepe-soled Kingston and the more substantial Rudiger models have very different characters.

Look Beyond The Stitching

Choose the sole and leather for the way you plan to wear the boot. A stitchdown label alone is not a promise of waterproofing, a particular fit or a specific level of flexibility.

Check the individual model's specifications, sizing guidance and shipping information before ordering.
