Meet The Santiago in Desert by Adelante, a men’s chukka boot in a soft, sand-colored leather that feels both relaxed and refined. Handcrafted in Guatemala and made-to-order, it’s the ideal everyday boot when you want something lighter than classic dark brown or black.
Materials & Construction: The Santiago in Desert is built from sustainably sourced leather in a light tan tone, with cushioned footbeds and a durable, walkable outsole. The three-eyelet chukka upper keeps the design minimal, while precise stitching and finishing underscore Adelante’s craftsmanship. The ankle-height shaft and sleek profile make this boot comfortable in transitional weather and easy to pair with rolled hems or full-length trousers.
Why It’s Good: Adelante crafts The Santiago under a made-to-order, living-wage model, which reduces excess stock and supports artisan livelihoods. Durable leather and cushioned construction are intended for long-term wear, not a single season of trend chasing. A Desert colorway blends harmoniously with light denim, earthy tones, and summer-weight fabrics, increasing wears per pair and shrinking your shoe footprint overall.
Style Notes: Pair The Santiago in Desert with olive chinos and a chambray shirt for an easy, put-together look, or wear it with white jeans and a knit for a clean, coastal-inspired outfit. The light leather also looks great with relaxed tailoring in beige, stone, and soft grey.
