11" WELLS

Inspired by the king of country, and ready for any and everything — a brown cowhide boot with a wide round toe that puts comfort ahead of the silhouette.

The stitching on the outside is a light brown, which is the only decoration on it and enough. The insole is a removable orthotic. The heel is a walking block, and the outsole is a leather and rubber combination, the pairing that keeps a boot steady on its feet without giving up the traditional feel entirely.

Wide and round at the front is the most forgiving shape western footwear offers, and it is the reason this one works as an everyday boot rather than an occasion. A walking heel keeps the stride normal instead of tipping you forward. Brown covers everything. There is nothing clever going on here, which is precisely the appeal: a well-shaped boot, comfortable from the start, that will still be in the rotation years after the fashionable pairs have been retired. Straight leg over the shaft, and go.
