Many active consumers have come to expect a balance of function and form from the clothing, shoes and accessories they wear each day, which is seeing products like the Nisolo Andres all-weather boots be designed with this in mind. Crafted from premium leather that has been vegetable tanned, the boots have a supple leather lining and insole along with a gusseted tongue that provides added protection from the elements when being work in rain or snow. A Vibram 430 mini lug sole promises grip on almost any terrain or when facing inclement weather, while the rugged aesthetic of the boots allows them to be worn on the regular without looking out of place.
The Nisolo Andres all-weather boots come in three color options and are handmade in León, Mexico in an ethical, family-run factory.
