Meet The Merida in Black by Adelante, a classic women’s Chelsea boot that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing style. Handcrafted in Guatemala and made-to-order, this boot blends flexible side panels, a practical heel height, and full-grain leather into a silhouette you can wear all week long.
Materials & Construction: The Merida in Black is made from full-grain leather with a soft leather lining, elastic side gussets for easy on-and-off, and a pull tab at the back. The heel is designed to be walkable for full days on your feet, while the carefully shaped last and contrast stitching give the boot subtle design interest. Built with durable, artisan construction and a resolable sole, the Merida is meant to be maintained and worn for years rather than a single season.
Why It’s Good: Adelante produces each pair of Meridas on a made-to-order basis and pays craftsmen living wages, prioritizing social impact alongside product quality. Full-grain leather that can be conditioned, paired with resolable construction, encourages a long-term relationship with your boots rather than constant replacement. The timeless Chelsea shape also resists trend churn, making this a long-lived anchor in a small, sustainable wardrobe.
Style Notes: Wear The Merida in Black with straight-leg jeans and an oversized knit for off-duty days, or pair it with tailored trousers and a blazer for a low-key office look. The clean profile slips easily under cropped and full-length pants, and it works just as well with sweater dresses and tights when temperatures dip.
