While the first elastic-sided boots were developed as horseback riding footwear for Queen Victoria, the ultra-clean shape of this staple quickly made it a hit in more dressed-up, urban settings. Our design takes the sleekness a step further with polished calfskin uppers, handpicked to highlight the long, sculpted form of our 943B footwear last. Smart, sophisticated and timeless, this streamlined style adds a sharp, modern edge to everything from suits to denim. What you need to know about Factory Seconds Our exacting quality standards mean that not every shoe makes the grade. That gives you the opportunity to get an exceptional value on these slightly imperfect styles. Factory Seconds include one or more surface flaws such as scratches or dislocation to the leather, misaligned stitching or stains in the burnishing. These defects will not affect the fit, durability or performance of the shoe.
