Ribchester - Acacia Distressed

The Ribchester in Acacia Distressed uses high grade oiled nubuck — a full grain leather 1.6–1.8mm thick, treated with oils and waxes to build in water resistance during the tanning process. The acacia distressed finish develops more character with wear rather than deteriorating from it, becoming more distinctive over time.

The Vibram sole is chosen for all-terrain grip across wet, icy, and rough surfaces, with a non-scratch rubber compound that keeps it suitable for indoor use. It is resoleable, and light enough to wear without fatigue across a full day's wear in varied conditions.
