Product Description
Our most popular boot, now made on the all new ROD last which fits in a very similar way as our known HOK last does. Made using our new & extremely comfortable Ultraflex System Construction, this Chelsea is a very versatile & flexible option.
The Ultraflex System is our newest take on the Goodyear Welt construction — A whole new system developed from scratch where Quality & Style meet real Comfort. This system is a combination of materials & technique making this Chelseas, possibly one of the most comfortable Welted shoe in the market.
Goodyear welted on the ROD last, the perfect fit for our new (ULTRAFLEX SYSTEM). You'll be surprised by how soft and gentle the underside of the leather as it keeps your feet feeling comfortable all day. For the first time fitted with a vibram lightweight rubber sole, which provides great traction & resistance to abrasion while being one of the lightest soles available.

Rod Last
The ROD last features a casual round toe shape and a truly acommodating fit. As its sister HOK last, the ROD is a voluminous last, featuring a wide ball tread, providing superior comfort to the wearer. It is one of our most forgiving & comfortable lasts within our range. Providing excellent support while retaining a snug heel control so that the foot remains in place avoiding any slippage or sliding-forward to within the boot.
The ROD last is exclusive to the Ultraflex System range.
The Ultraflex System is our newest take on the Goodyear Welt construction — A whole new system developed from scratch where Quality & Style meet real Comfort. This system is a combination of materials & technique making these shoes, the most comfortable Welted dress shoe in the market. We've maintained the lines & look of our HOK last, but adjusted to be able to accommodate the double insole system during production, without affecting the overall fit.
The most popular styles on the ROD last are our Service, Jumper & Wholecut Chelsea Boots.
