Addict Jodhpur Boots AB-09H-CL-FT_BLK - Black Horsehide
Addict Japan make quality goods, full stop. You can just tell a lot of thought has gone into all aspects the customer would want or be concerned about. The boots are fantastic. The lasts, construction, materials and style are all top notch, made to last and have a very luxurious feel to them. They are super comfortable boots from the get go. The Jodhpur boots are made on their CL-FT last which is their classic last as seen on many of their boots but with a slimmer toe giving the boot a slightly less bulbous look in toe width from the start. It really works. It is a great fitting boot, very narrow looking at the opening but surprisingly fairly easy to get on (for average width/ volume feet) when you open up the leather flaps. Their is a slight underfoot spongy feeling when they are on, the heel gets cupped very well and due to the slight upturn in the toe they are very comfortable to walk in immediately as they roll with your foot as you walk. The toe will likely flatten (depends on how you walk/ stand) with time giving an even more sleeker look to them. The leather is a very plush Black Horsehide. It is a very nice leather. It is thick but very pliable/ soft to touch. It is fairly oily in feel so not a dry/ crisp leather and has very subtle grain variation. This leather will age beautifully and develop some very nice Horsehide rolls over time and as it is a tea-core leather you will start to see that poke through in areas of wear with time. You can of course polish them up with a Black polish to keep them all Black. The construction is superb! The stitching is very neat, the best components have been used throughout (see the details tab) and the finish is very high, some of the best. They have been trimmed in very well and all is very neat. They are cow leather lined and have a cushioned heel to the leather insole for extra comfort. They also come with an extra leather insole for fit adjustment if you should need when they have broken in. The heavy duty brass buckles are custom for Addict. Class! If you are looking for a stylish, low profile and easy fitting boot (see sizing tab for more info) that is very well made in a luxurious Horsehide then look no further. Made in Japan. Please see the sizing tab for fit details.
