Meet The Merida in Desert by Adelante, a Chelsea boot that brings easy, slip-on comfort to a soft, sand-colored leather upper. Handcrafted in Guatemala and made-to-order, it’s a go-to style for days when you want minimal effort, maximum polish.
Materials & Construction: The Merida in Desert uses full-grain leather in a light, versatile tone, paired with calfskin lining for a smooth feel. Stretchy side panels and a back pull-tab make it simple to slide in and out, while a stacked leather heel is engineered for walking comfort. Goodyear welt construction binds the upper and sole in a fully resoleable, watertight connection when maintained properly, and cushioned insoles help absorb impact throughout the day.
Why It’s Good: Adelante’s Chelsea boots support living-wage jobs in Pastores, Guatemala, and are produced on a made-to-order basis, significantly reducing overstock. Quality leathers and Goodyear welts are chosen so the boots can be cleaned, conditioned, and resoled, extending their life and reducing waste. A neutral Desert shade pairs with a wide range of outfits, encouraging you to rewear one thoughtfully made boot rather than buying multiple trendy pairs.
Style Notes: Pair The Merida in Desert with white denim and a knit for a fresh, tonal outfit, or style it with black jeans and a trench for a city-ready look. The light leather brightens fall and winter wardrobes and feels right at home with airy spring and summer neutrals as well.
