Worn a few times, see photos for wear on the bottom of the boots and scuffs on the inside. Scuffing is the same on both boots, probably from wearing boots too big for me. The Libertine is a men’s cream, premium leather harness boot with nickel hardware. It features a back ankle zipper closure and stacked heel. Hand-made, Blake stitched leather sole with STH logo engraving. Blake construction allows for a resoleable boot because the outer sole is stitched directly to the upper. This enables a durable and flexible, high-end boot. BLAKE STITCHING: Blake sole construction was designed in 1856 by the American sewing machine inventor Lyman Reed Blake. A single row of stylish chain stitching runs through the sole into the upper. Blake construction has become one of the more recognized and superior construction methods, even though most of its work is hidden under the foot. Sizing questions? Click the Sizing tab below.
