Meet The Valparaiso in Black by Adelante, a men’s lace-up “Valpo” boot that combines the original Adelante silhouette with classic black leather and Goodyear-welted durability. Handcrafted in Guatemala and made-to-order, it’s the definition of a forever shoe.
Materials & Construction: The Valparaiso in Black features a full-grain leather upper, cap toe, contrast or tonal stitching (depending on finish), and a stacked leather heel. Goodyear welt construction allows for full resoling and creates a strong, long-lasting bond between upper and sole, while a high-density EVA outsole with rubber finish balances lightness and grip. A cushioned, lined interior supports comfortable all-day wear.
Why It’s Good: Adelante’s made-to-order system, coupled with living-wage jobs and Goodyear-welted construction, makes The Valparaiso a high-impact, low-waste choice. The ability to resole and recondition this boot over time keeps it in your wardrobe for years, significantly reducing the environmental burden compared with disposable shoes. A black colorway is as versatile as it gets, allowing one well-made pair to handle everything from business-casual outfits to weekend jeans.
Style Notes: Wear The Valparaiso in Black with suiting or dress trousers for more formal settings, or style it with slim jeans and a button-down for everyday life. The cap toe and clean lines bring instant polish to any outfit, making this boot a cornerstone of a tight, intentional wardrobe.
