The Gunnar | Black Shoes Boots

An ankle boot with an inside (medial side) zipper. Most footwear historians (don’t laugh- they exist!) consider this style an updated version of the Chelsea boot – as the zipper was not invented until nearly 100 years after elastic! The Gunnar is the Ronan’s big brother…both built on the Valor last with same leather, lining and outsole. As on Ronan, we also hand burnish the toe and heel to give a warm vintage vibe. The wood block heel is also hand-burnished. To complete the vintage look these styles sport the same stitched leather “welt” (the piece that sits on top of the outsole and wraps around the entire shoe).
