Meet The Elena in Oatmeal by Adelante, a lace-up, block-heel boot that trades heavy, dark leather for a soft, sand-toned neutral. Handcrafted to order in Guatemala, this style brings the attitude of a combat boot into a lighter, more minimalist palette that still feels substantial and long-wearing.
Materials & Construction: The Elena in Oatmeal is made from nubuck leather, giving the upper a velvety, matte finish that patinas gracefully with time. Inside, calfskin lining and cushioned insoles add next-level comfort. A stacked leather block heel offers easy, walkable height, while Goodyear welt construction means the outsole is fully resoleable and watertight when properly maintained. Every detail—from the laces to the welt stitching—is carefully finished by Adelante’s artisans.
Why It’s Good: Adelante builds each Elena to order, paying living wages and dramatically reducing dead stock. Nubuck leather and Goodyear welts support long-term repair and care, keeping this boot in your rotation for many seasons. Choosing a high-quality light neutral like Oatmeal also expands your styling options, so one pair can work across everything from denim to dresses.
Style Notes: Pair The Elena in Oatmeal with white denim and a chunky sweater for a tonal, Scandinavian-inspired look, or contrast it with black jeans and a leather jacket for extra edge. The soft color also plays nicely with pastel knits and floral dresses, making it a go-to boot for transitional weather and weekend getaways.
