The Zephyr boots are part of Westerly’s Gauge style line. Each pair is made by hand to your specifications in our east Vancouver studio workshop.
 
Customize your boots by selecting from five colours of 5 oz slightly waxy top grain leather, three colours of leather laces, and three options for soles and edge finishing.
 
For strength and stability, every pair of Westerly's is made with vegetable-tanned leather reinforcements at the toes, heels, and eyelet facings. Hand stitching details at the toe and back centre shaft enhance the handmade aesthetic, while also providing additional reinforcement to stress points. A metal shank is secured in the sole before a 3 mm vegetable-tanned midsole is stitched in place. We then use a 6 mm non-slip rubber outsole by Topy for added comfort and protection. The boot bottoming is finished off with stacked vegetable-tanned leather heels and Topy rubber heel lifts. The final detail is the merino wool foot beds to wick moisture away from your feet.
 
The full character of boots from the Gauge line will show itself over time as the lines of the leather soften with wear forming to your personal shape. As all Westerly footwear is made with natural products and by hand, variations from pair to pair will exist making your Westerly’s wholly unique.
 
Westerly’s Made to Order collection offers a wide range of women’s sizes from 34 B to 42 B, and 34 C to 42 C. See the men’s pages for respective size range. Consult our sizing chart to make your appropriate size selection.
