You cannot survive winter with your attitude intact, as well as you can, wearing a pair of Sutherland Boots. Ask anyone. 100% Wool-lined genuine suede or full-grain bundu leather upper on a lightweight Freestyle Georgia sole(TPR).
TPR = non slip, rugged, light-weight rubber composite sole.
Genuine YKK zips fitted on the inside leg for easy-slip-on, robust use.
Leg Height: 250mm
Calf Measurement: 390mm circumference.
Please Note: The Sutherland boot is not a gum boot . With the application of the Freestyle Leather Protector it will make the suede more resistant to water, but not waterproof. Please allow the boots to dry out properly if they get wet.
Sustainably Handcrafted in Cape Town, South Africa.
I would change 2 things on these stunning boots. The soles could be more flexible and not as heavy. I put in an extra inner sole for a softer feel ass well as insulate from could coming underneath. The rest of the boot is soft and cosy. Except from the soles, these boots are really warm.
Lovely shoe for my husband, he cannot be happier, though the sizing was very far from standard sizing. My husband is a standard size 9 UK (size 43 EU) and we had to order a size 8, which fits perfect on his feet. Had a bit of trouble with the return but the problem was with the courier company and Freestyle made quick work of rectifying the issue.
Overall, we'll be happy to order from Freestyle in the future!
Had the plakkies for less than a week and the stitching on the left one came undone where the toe straps meet. Contacted Freestyle to request this be addressed/remedied and have received no feedback. Not happy with quality especially given the price paid.
