Solovair 8 Eye Derby in Blood Core

Rose Anvil x Solovair 8 Eye Derby Blood Core The iconic boot style you know, built to take a beating. Blood Core was inspired by rub-off leathers like those Solovair was already making. Now it's finally come full circle, back to England where the idea started, to be on one of their boots. Blood Core, however, is true boot-thickness leather at 2.5-3mm. The red core bleeds through as you beat it in & gets better with every scratch and scar. And with lugs 2–3x thicker for better grip, a felt midsole that doesn't bottom out, a leather insole (instead of fiberboard) that molds to your foot, and Goodyear welt construction (so it's resoleable instead of disposable) this boot is made to be worn hard and loud.
