The Knox

Born in Dallas, The Knox is a zip boot with real Texas bones: Goodyear welt construction, a full-grain leather build, an almond toe with that unmistakable stitch detail. But it has an inside zip that gets you in and out in seconds.

That construction matters. A Goodyear welt means the sole isn't just glued on; it's stitched in, which means when the leather outsole eventually wears down, a good cobbler can resole it instead of sending it to the trash. A rubber heel cap adds grip where you need it, and a lightly cushioned leather footbed keeps you comfortable from the first wear. Available in chocolate suede, sand suede, or burnished whiskey calfskin. One of them's going with everything in your closet.
