A really nice everyday boot, made with the so-called Stitchdown construction, where the upper leather is turned outwards and sewn onto a leather midsole, to which the rubber sole is attached. A construction that can withstand water well, and which can easily be re-soled by a cobbler. Made on round toe last S292, in dark brown Repello gum oil suede from the well-known British tannery Charles F. Stead. Fitted with soft comfortable crepe natural rubber soles.

Yanko is one of the oldest still active classic shoe brands from Spain, founded in 1961. In the 90s they were one of the world's largest manufacturers of Goodyear welted shoes in the late 20th century, today they are clearly smaller, but still have a solid reputation as an affordable manufacturer of quality shoes.

Note that on this type of Stitchdown construction there are often marks in the uppers from the sole stitching machine, this is normal and it often becomes less visible over time when the shoes have been worn. Also, linings and stiffeners are turned outwards (because of this, soft celastic stiffeners are used here, in order to be able to bend them in the required way) and can therefore be visible along the edge.

Construction:
Stitchdown. Upper turns outward, sewn into leather midsole, to which the outsole is attached. Can easily be re-soled.

Sole:
Crepe sole made of natural rubber.

Sizing:
The shoes are slightly small in size, most go up 0.5 in size if you have a normal / slightly wide foot (if you have a slightly narrower foot, however, most people choose the same size) compared to welted shoes from, for example, Skolyx, TLB Mallorca, Loake, Crockett & Jones and Carmina's sizes.
