Rolling Dub Trio – Loro Boots – Black Horsebutt Leather

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Writing these descriptions is hard sometimes, not for the lack of words but to be able to convey such enthusiasm in such a short amount of space. The Loro boots from Rolling Dub Trio have made it very hard indeed. They are quite simply stunning. Style, shape, comfort, materials and much more. They just have that wow factor.

Made on their self modified munson style last they are standard width in the heel, shapely in the instep (without feeling too tight there), have a D width ball/ mid to front of foot and then taper at the toe’s to a square pegged shape. The are not overly square looking though as the wide aggressive double row of hand sewn construction rounds them off nicely. They also have quite a low arch/ instep. Our boots comparison man (me) has high insteps/ arches and can quite often struggle with getting engineers and low profile boots on in general and he has found them quite difficult to get them on in his size (8) similar to a number of engineer boots. Once on, the pressure in that area was fine and will only get better quickly due to the pliable leather (see sizing info).

The leather is thick Black Horsebutt leather from Italy. It is a beautiful, subtle grained leather that is very pliable, has a lovely lustre and feels very hard wearing.

As always with Rolling Dub Trio the materials and construction are all top notch and will last and last. The stitchwork is fantastic, the patterns are well matched, the trim is equal and just feel like an extremely well executed and beautiful boot. Bravo!

If like us you like Western Styled boots then you have found one of the best. They are mantelpiece worthy.

Rolling Dub Trio Loro boots are made on their munson last which has been modified to give a slight upturned square peg toe and a low mid foot profile. The width feels like a slim to standard D width from the ball of the foot backwards. The length (for the right fit) will be slightly longer than other RDT or other makers equivalent sizes due to the tapered square toe style of the Loro’s. They are quite slim in the shaft and have a low instep so getting them on could be challenging to many. Just a heads up.

An 8 US in the Loro feels very similar to but slightly tighter at first try to below but will look a touch longer due to the pattern/ style:
