Hipswell
Hipswell – Men's Suede Boot with Natural Crepe Sole
The Hipswell range, which was designed in Manchester, pays homage to the traditional lightweight strobel construction by using high-quality Italian suede, featuring distinct handcrafted details and our trademark natural crepe rubber sole. The original version of the Hipswell is made by hand from premium Sciarada Castoro reverse suede, since it has a solid feel, a rich texture and a natural character; the reverse side of the suede is also employed to cover the removable cushioned insole, thereby providing softness and comfort when walking.
Hipswell EMB
Hipswell EMB adds a level of handcrafted detail to the original Hipswell design. A distinctive tri-colour embroidery runs across the upper, and the oversized collar flap is finished by hand with a heavyweight waxed twine edge stitch.
Crafted from premium Sciarada Castoro reverse suede, Hipswell EMB retains the same construction, comfort, and natural crepe sole as the original. The embroidery adds a different character to the collection.
Hipswell shares its sole-making method, sidewall stitch attachment, and closed butt-seam apron with our Hambleton. It introduces a distinctive single-eye tie for a cleaner, uncluttered appearance. An oversized suede collar flap adds character to the upper and gives Hipswell its instantly recognisable silhouette.
Hipswell Fringe
Hipswell Fringe offers the most relaxed version of the Hipswell design; its characteristic sliced suede collar flap gives the shoe a softer and more casual look while at the same time enhancing its handcrafted quality.
In this version we have used a very soft Cobo reverse suede obtained from Conceria Opera in Tuscany. The leather is supple, pleasant to the touch and naturally flexible, so it pairs well with Hipswell's lightweight design and means that the shoe has a rather broken-in feel even on the very first occasion.
True Flexibility And Comfort
Underneath every Hipswell is a 6mm hand-formed natural crepe rubber sole that provides cushioning and flexibility. It also reinforces the relaxed, handcrafted character of the collection. Combined with premium Italian suede, lightweight construction, and a removable cushioned footbed, the result is a distinctive men's shoe designed for relaxed everyday wear.
