Meet The Catalina in Desert by Adelante, a sun-washed Chelsea boot in a sand-toned leather that feels both modern and timeless. It’s a standout choice when you want a light boot that doesn’t sacrifice substance or craftsmanship.
Materials & Construction: The Desert colorway uses full-grain leather for the upper, paired with calfskin lining and a vegetable-tanned soling leather midsole. Elastic side panels and a back pull tab keep the on-and-off process easy, while a 2-inch stacked leather heel adds height and poise. Goodyear welt construction allows for resoling, turning this boot into a long-term staple rather than a short-lived trend piece.
Why It’s Good: Each pair is made to order in Guatemala under Adelante’s living-wage commitments, supporting artisans and their communities. High-quality materials and resolable construction encourage repair and long-term wear, dramatically reducing the environmental cost per wear compared to cheaper, non-resoleable boots.
Style Notes: Use The Catalina in Desert to lighten up cool-weather outfits: pair it with black jeans and a camel coat, or style it with white denim and a chunky knit for a tonal, minimalist look. The soft sand tone also complements florals and prints, making it an ideal boot for shoulder seasons.
