The Richards is a men’s black, premium leather boot featuring a side 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. The Richards are approximately “true to size”, so most people are ordering their standard size. 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.
