Grizedale Black Russian Grain

Grizedale, a plain front derby boot in black russian grain, featuring the chunky cleated rubber sole from Vibram, black eyelets and a heavier weight lace. A half bellows tongue, ensures no water penetrates the lace area during wet weather usage, and a half leather lining with a waterproof membrane interlining, ensure comfort, warmth whilst maximising water-resistance.

Russian Grain is a very special leather indeed. Made from young English Ox hides, Russian Grain is produced by an old English tannery, who specialise in traditional vegetable tanning. The tannery is believed to have been situated on its current site since Roman times, and although the name of the tannery has changed, the oak bark tanning process remains almost unchanged.
