Skipton is an Oiled Nubuck Leather shoe, with a Sympatex breathable/water repellent lining, and a Vibram mixed terrain sole - which has exceptional cushioning and shock absorption for all-day comfort.
The ‘lace-to-toe’ design gives a good level of comfort fitting and stability whilst enabling some adjustment of shoe volume via the lacing.
Oiled nubuck leather is used to give a balance between water repellency and enhanced breathability to sustain comfort across a wider range of climate conditions.
Oiled Nubuck can be treated with Leder Gris wax/paste to give increased water repellency - alternatively it can be treated with Leder Bok spray to retain the original looks and breathability. Treatment for Water Repellent Boots video.
