Handmade Chelsea Boots in Horween Nut Brown: Subtle Details, Lasting Craft

If you’ve stopped by the shop recently, you may know me as “the shoemaker in training.” But the truth is, Davoud is the shoemaker in training. With every pair he makes, he keeps learning, refining, and improving on his own designs.

Take these Chelsea boots in Horween’s Nut Brown, for example. Davoud has been adding discreet zippers to boots and shoes—sometimes for folks who have a harder time getting into them, and sometimes just for those who prefer skipping the laces. At first glance, these Chelseas look much like the ones he’s made in past years. But the small changes he’s made hide the zipper more cleanly while keeping the classic lines of a Chelsea boot intact. Subtle details you might not notice—but they matter to us.

And it’s those little things that keep pushing us forward.
