Belstaff Resolve boots in brown

Neil H: Worth a look- Belstaff Resolve

This is my second pair of Resolve boots. My first pair were manufactured in Slovakia whereas my new pair were manufactured by Artshoes in Portugal. There are subtle changes between the factories First the new ones are a darker brown, more like a dark oak or cigar colour, compared to the redder chestnut older boots. Second, the ankle pucks are softer and have a slightly slimmer profile. They also dont have the hard circular covers on the outside. They are slightly taller up the leg but retain the 7 hole pattern. The tongue and padding at the top are also slightly slimmer. Therefore they can work well under your riding jeans or chinos. Inside the insole has more padding from the heel to the arch making the support better and more comfortable. Overall build quality looks good. My old pair took me many thousands of miles including to Senegal back plus a complete submerging in the river Senegal at the Rosso border crossing. I can say these are versatile boots that dont just look good. In my experience they will perform for you further afield, I just conditioned the leather, a little polish or mink oil and I was good to go. I pair my resolves with jeans a Klim Marrakesh jacket.Perfect.
