D in boots: Handcrafted style for every step

If you’re hunting for boots that feel personal, you’ve landed on the right page. The "D in boots" range is all about real craft, local talent, and designs that stand out without shouting. Each pair is made in Elgin, so you get a piece of the town’s creative spirit on your feet.

Why choose handmade boots?

First, handmade means you skip the mass‑production line. A real artisan measures, cuts, and stitches each boot by hand. That results in better fit – the toe box, ankle support, and heel height are all tailored to move with you, not against you. Second, the materials are top‑grade. We work with premium leathers, sturdy suedes, and natural fabrics that age nicely. Over time, a boot will develop a soft patina that adds character, something you never get from a factory‑made pair.

Third, buying a D in boot supports local designers. When you spend on these boots, the money stays in the community, helping other craftspeople keep their workshops alive. It’s a small choice that makes a big difference for the local economy.

Caring for your D in boots

To keep your boots looking fresh, a simple routine does the trick. After each wear, brush off dust with a soft shoe brush. For leather, use a light conditioner once a month – it prevents cracks and keeps the material supple. Suede likes a suede brush to lift the nap and a gentle rub of a suede eraser for stains.

Store the boots with shoe trees or newspaper bundled inside. This holds the shape and absorbs moisture. If you get rain, let the boots air dry away from direct heat; a heater can shrink the leather. A quick polish once a season restores shine and adds a protective layer.

Most importantly, give the boots a break. Rotating between shoes gives each pair time to breathe and reduces wear on any single pair.

Styling D in boots is easier than you think. Pair them with slim denim for a casual day out, or match them with a simple dress for a laid‑back evening look. The boots’ natural tones work with almost any colour, so you don’t have to worry about clashing. If you want a pop, try a coloured sock peeking out at the ankle – it adds a playful touch without stealing the spotlight.

Finding the right size is key. Measure your foot length and width, then compare it to the brand’s size guide. Remember, a snug toe box is okay, but you should still feel a tiny wiggle room. If you’re between sizes, go up – a tighter boot will feel uncomfortable, while a slightly larger one can be stretched a bit.
