The Daniel is our iconic plain-toe tramping shoe, cutting a clean and unadorned profile by omitting decorative brogueing and heavy stitching. Built on the legendary 4497s last—the traditional foundation of our classic country boots—it provides a generous and highly secure fit. This construction yields a spacious toe box, an accommodating fit across the vamp, and excellent support through the waist, delivering boot-like stability in a versatile shoe silhouette.

Black Hydro Nubuck: Matte Resilience Hydro Nubuck is a premium calf skin that has been expertly buffed to create a soft, tactile surface, then specially treated during the tanning process for maximum longevity.

Water-Repellent Finish: The specialised "Hydro" treatment ensures that moisture beads straight off the surface, making this textured leather incredibly practical and highly stain-resistant during wet weather.
Deep Ink-Black Aesthetic: The fine, velvety nap of the nubuck absorbs light completely, resulting in a dense, uniform black tone that brings a sharp, contemporary edge to a heritage design.
Full Leather Lining: Lined entirely with soft, breathable natural calf leather to establish an ideal internal climate and promote superb structural integrity over years of service.

Technical Build: The Stealthy Foundation Engineered to withstand the elements while maintaining a balanced, lightweight look.

Dainite Rubber Sole: Grounded by a British-made Dainite sole, offering excellent traction, grip, and durability across wet pavements without adding unnecessary bulk. The classic studded design is specifically patterned to prevent dirt and debris from collecting.
Goodyear Welted: Fully Goodyear welted in our Northampton factory to create a completely watertight seal between the upper and sole, ensuring the shoe can be completely resoled and refurbished for decades.
Tonal Accents: Finished with matching black eyelets, black laces, and a dark stained welt to preserve its clean, monochromatic appearance.
