Why choose the black Vibram Eastwood?
Eastwood is our gorgeous classic Chelsea boot. It is a simple, beautifully crafted ankle boot and with elasticated sides and a soft leather lining, is easy to slip on and off.
Its subtle, unfussy silhouette gives a clean line with smart tailoring, but this versatile boot can be dressed down to look relaxed and comfortable for more informal occasions. Paired with a Vibram rubber sole, this is a practical, long-lasting boot for all-round wear.
Looks good with...
With its simple shape and cut, the Eastwood Chelsea boot can be worn with smart tailoring for a contemporary, sleek, unfussy look, but pare it down with jeans and a jacket, and it immediately has a more relaxed, comfortable vibe.
In our classic black leather, this would work well across both formal and informal settings, and transitions beautifully from day to evening wear. With the hard-wearing Vibram sole this is a great all-round boot for work and play.
Stitched Vibram rubber sole and stacked rubber heel
A rubber Vibram sole gives the boot a robustness, with its ability to grip better and last longer.
The Eastwood still has the stacked leather heel but with a full Vibram top piece covering the sole in a classic round-studded design with our distinctive laser-engraved Thomas Bird logo in the waist.
Materials and craftsmanship
We work with the finest Italian artisan shoemakers who showcase their expertise in cutting, shaping, stitching and dying leathers, skilled crafts that have been handed down through the generations.
With attention to detail being paramount, leathers are carefully selected by weight and pliability and cut to form the pattern to fit the last. Then several stages of dying, polishing and burnishing create the depth and richness of the jet black colour.
Italian made
Italy is renowned for the quality and style innovation of its beautiful leathers and components used in the shoemaking process.
It has a strong and well-deserved reputation as the home of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail and we want nothing less for our Thomas Bird collection.
