Shop Lakeshore LastDainite introduced the Ridgeway Sole in 1941. Named for England's Ridgeway Trail, a prehistoric trading route which dates back some 3,500 years, the sole draws inspiration from trail's terrain. While most cleated soles were developed specifically for service and work boots, the Ridgeway was developed with the British sportsman in mind, with a tread pattern that offers exceptional traction with less weight and a uniquely-elegant mid-century design.
Shop Ridgeway SoleThe Kudu is a very populous antelope from Southern Africa, living wild in the bush. Its hide provides a striking combination of softness and strength. C.F. Stead uses their famous ‘Janus’ tannage, which was designed to maximize the natural mellowness of calfskin, and then treats it with a full wax impregnation, drawing-forth the natural grain blemishes to create a leather full of charm and character.
