Chain Traction™

The editorial

Chain Traction™ is built for snow. The outsole carries a bonded chain-link lattice and steel grip pins, so the boot bites on packed ice and cleared pavement alike.

Above the sole, the build is deliberately international: waterproof vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscany, an insulated recycled lining engineered in Asia-Pacific mills, and a bogolan-and-denim panel that runs the West African motif up the shaft.

Rated for deep winter, finished like a dress boot. Warmth is the engineering; heritage is the language.
