Belliver Boot - Vacchetta

Regular price $690

Cavallo Vacchetta Toscanello. Vegetable tanned horsehide

The Belliver Boot is based on the WWII US military field boot known by collectors as the Boondocker. Originally designed as a lightweight yet durable field boot, the styling is timeless and versatile, the construction rugged.

The Belliver Boot upgrades its ancestor with vegetable-tanned horsehide, a gusseted tongue padded with memory foam, and a Vibram outsole. The upper is unlined for lightweight, flexible comfort, whilst a double-layer counter locks the wearer in place for enduring stability. The full length padded footbed grants all-day cushioning and support.

  • Handmade in Italy
  • Goodyear welted, Vibram rubber outsole
  • Memory foam padded footbed and tongue
  • Solid brass hardware, waxed cotton laces
  • Vegetable tanned horsehide vacchetta

Size Guide

The Harry Last is a classic fit, following the natural shape and curves of your feet. The toe box is roomy and allows for natural movement and a comfortable stride. We currently make all styles in an E width.


Our sizing is comparable to Alden, so if you wear an Alden size 9, you can confidently order an August Special shoe in size 9.


If you have a very narrow foot or a low instep, you could consider ordering a half size down. For particularly wide feet, a half size larger could accommodate.


Where we see variations in fit because of a particular leather or styling detail we have this noted on the individual product page. 


If you have any questions about sizing, please reach out to us here so we can help guide you to your ideal size. We offer returns and exchanges according to our common-sense policy, which you can see here.
