Meet The Catalina in Black by Adelante, an elevated women’s Chelsea boot with a block heel and serious staying power. Designed and handcrafted in Guatemala, this is the kind of boot that instantly sharpens jeans, dresses, and everything in between.
Materials & Construction: The Catalina is made to order with a nubuck leather upper in Black, calfskin lining, and a vegetable-tanned soling leather midsole. A 2-inch stacked leather heel and elastic side panels provide height with comfort, while Goodyear welt construction makes the boot fully resoleable and watertight when properly cared for.
Why It’s Good: Adelante builds each pair one at a time in Guatemala, paying skilled craftsmen living wages and prioritizing long-term social impact. The use of high-quality nubuck leather, vegetable-tanned components, and resolable Goodyear welts means each boot is made to last and to be repaired, not replaced—an essential principle of slow fashion.
Style Notes: Use The Catalina in Black as your everyday “power bootie.” Pair it with straight-leg jeans and a tucked-in knit for a refined casual look, or wear it with midi dresses and tights when you want something a bit more dressed up. The clean lines and matte black finish ensure it plays well with both minimal and statement pieces in your wardrobe.
