The Mendoza in Denim Blue

Meet The Mendoza in Denim Blue by Adelante, a men’s Chelsea boot that updates a classic with full-grain leather in a striking denim-blue shade. Handcrafted in Guatemala and made-to-order, it’s a statement boot built on serious construction.

Materials & Construction: The Mendoza in Denim Blue uses buttery full-grain leather, elastic panels, and a pull tab for easy on-and-off. Inside, calfskin lining, a vegetable-tanned soling leather midsole, and high-density memory foam insoles support all-day comfort. Goodyear welt construction marries the upper to a high-density EVA outsole with rubber finish, creating a boot that’s resolable and ready for years of wear when cared for properly.

Why It’s Good: Every pair of Mendozas is made-to-order by artisans earning living wages, reducing overproduction and putting craftsmanship at the center. Full-grain leather, Goodyear welts, and durable soles are chosen to age gracefully and justify repair, cutting down on the environmental impact of frequent boot replacements. A denim-blue upper also gives you a bold but surprisingly versatile option that works with jeans, chinos, and smart-casual tailoring alike.

Style Notes: Pair The Mendoza in Denim Blue with black or grey denim and a simple knit for weekends, or use it to add personality to navy chinos and a white shirt. The color pops next to neutral layers while still reading as wearable and grounded.
