VDR//LEISURE_BOOT 1035 ∆

The VDR_LEISURE_1035 ∆ is a handcrafted split leather ankle boot built for the kind of movement that doesn't announce itself. The upper is leather — not PU, not bonded shell — with a breathable mesh lining that keeps the interior from turning into a problem on longer days. Ankle-height, lace-up closure, flat rubber outsole. Black or Brown. No excess.

Two side pockets sit flush with the upper — functional, not decorative. The cushioned bonded leather insole handles city pavement, transit corridors, and late-night concrete without breaking down mid-rotation. This is the boot you reach for when the fit needs to hold from 6 PM to 2 AM without a wardrobe change.

Most ankle boots at this price use a full synthetic upper. This one doesn't — split leather sits above that tier, and the breathable mesh lining is something most comparable options skip. $104.99 USD. Two colorways. Eight sizes. If your size is there, it's ready to ship.

FAQ

Do the VDR_LEISURE_1035 boots run true to size, or should I size up?
They run true to EU sizing. Each size includes a foot length reference (EU 38 = 25 cm through EU 45 = 28.5 cm) — match your foot length to the chart and you'll land in the right size. The lace-up closure handles minor width variation.

What's the boot actually made of — is it real leather?
Split leather upper — that's a genuine leather layer, not PU or synthetic. The interior uses breathable mesh lining, and the insole is cushioned bonded leather. The outsole is flat rubber.

How do these compare to other leather ankle boots around $150?
Most ankle boots at this price point use a full synthetic or PU upper. The VDR_LEISURE_1035 uses split leather — a step above that — and includes a breathable mesh lining that most comparable boots in this range don't offer.

What do I wear these with? Can they work with streetwear fits?
Wide-leg cargos, straight denim, tapered joggers — the low-profile silhouette doesn't compete with the fit, it anchors it. Black works across most palettes; Brown reads warmer and pairs well with earth-tone layering.

How do I wash or care for these boots?
Wipe the leather upper with a dry or lightly damp cloth after wear. Don't submerge them. Use a split-leather conditioner periodically to keep the upper from drying out. Air dry only — no dryer, no direct heat source.
