The sneaker built like a boot.
Back by popular demand, the SMUGS in Horween's Chromexcel leather. This design is handmade in England, featuring all of our signature touches including our resoleable blake stitch construction.
This shoe is crafted using Horween’s Chromexcel leather. This leather is a combination tanned leather that undergoes at least 89 separate production processes and takes 28 working days to complete. The combination tanning process not only enhances durability but also gives it a rich, dynamic look. The pull-up quality allows it to develop a unique patina over time, making each piece distinct. This refined ruggedness adds to its charm, as the creases and marks tell the story of wear and use, creating a sneaker that only gets better with age.

THE FOUR KEY STAGES OF SHOEMAKING CRAFTSMANSHIP
CLICKING
The clicking process is a crucial step in shoe manufacturing, where the individual leather pieces that make up the upper are cut into precise shapes before being assembled. This stage gets its name from the sound the machines make as they cut through the material.
CLOSING
The closing process in shoe manufacturing refers to the stage where the individual components of the shoe upper, such as the vamp, quarters, and tongue, are sewn or stitched together to form the complete upper structure of the shoe.
LASTING
The lasting process is a critical stage in shoe manufacturing, where the shoe's upper is molded into its final shape and attached to the sole. This process gives the shoe its structure, fit, and comfort, making it one of the most important steps in creating a well-constructed shoe.
FINALISING
The shoes undergo a thorough inspection and refinement before they are packaged and shipped to you. This process is critical for ensuring that each pair of shoes meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
