Addictively comfortable, ludicrously stylish and bursting with sciency support, our limited edition Strives work boot will motivate you to upgrade your shoe game!

Her sophisticated shoe tech will power you all day with transformative support. Internal contouring helps to correct lower limb alignment, while 3 revolutionary layers of sole goodness cushions impact (which means major wins for your legs and back too!) And while she’s safety certified with a composite safety toe cap, she’s also super lightweight and oozes style.

The Strives offers a PU/TPU sole which is a great option for wearing in the outdoors - particularly if you're regularly walking on abrasive surfaces. It is highly durable, provides a high tolerance against cuts, abrasian and cracking and also offers best-in-class slip resistance properties (SRC). TPU is heat resistant to 130 degrees C, so has a lower heat resistance rating than rubber (offering 300 degrees C).

Heads up: our latest Strives feature an upgraded leather compared to previous versions. We’ve teamed up with a supplier who uses water soluble ink to digitally print directly onto full grain leather. No polyurethane coating needed which is kinder to the planet!

Printed leather can scratch and scuff quite easily - it is inevitable scratches will show on printed leather, so we advise to exercise caution. This style is best suited to lighter wear. For those who experience frequent scuffing or work in tougher environments, another style may be a better fit. However, if scuffs do appear, a brown leather polish can help soften the look of any marks.

Print colours may differ from the image and as our shoes are hand crafted, each pair will be slightly unique.

Regular care of your shoes and boots has multiple advantages. 

It will give you maximum footwear performance, will keep your shoes in top-top condition to ensure proper support and comfort (and not to mention safety), and will extend the lifespan of your shoes.

TO CLEAN PRINTED LEATHER

Printed leather scratches, marks and scuffs very easily as the print is only on the surface - so extra care is required. As we use white leather under the prints, scratches will show off-white. If you do get scuffs on your leather, we recommend using a brown shoe polish which will help alleviate obvious scuff marks.

Gather supplies: Soft brush, mild soap or leather cleaner, soft cloths, leather conditioner, tan or brown boot polish, waterproofing spray and bowl of water.
Brush off dirt: Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface.
Prepare cleaning solution: Mix mild soap or leather cleaner with water and dip the cloth into the solution and gently clean the shoe (do not oversaturate). Wipe off any soap residue.
Dry properly: Pat the shoes with a dry cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat.
Condition: Use a leather conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness, especially if you wear your shoes regularly, and buff.
Apply boot polish (Strives only) : Use a brown or tan boot polish on any obvious scuffs or marks.
Protect: Once dry, apply a waterproofing spray to shield against water damage and help lock the colour in.
Store correctly: Store shoes in a cool, dry place.

* Always ensure the products you are using are suitable for full grain leathers. Use high care with any products on patterned leather as it can affect the colours and print.

We highly recommend our premium shoe care kit plus a conditioner/moisturiser and boot polish suitable for grain leather.
