Full Grain Leather Tabi Boots — HELEN BLACK

DESCRIPTION

Introducing the HELEN BLACK, our first-ever Tabi boots, featuring a distinctive split-toe silhouette crafted from premium full grain cowhide leather.

Designed as a fresh take on the classic boot, the HELEN BLACK combines its unique Tabi construction with a clean black finish for a bold yet versatile look.

The first release is limited to 100 pairs.

FULL GRAIN COWHIDE LEATHER

The HELEN BLACK is crafted from full grain cowhide leather for both the upper and lining.

Full grain leather retains the natural character of the hide, offering excellent durability while developing natural creasing and character with wear.

Over time, the leather gradually softens and adapts to the shape of your feet, making each pair increasingly personal.

LEATHER OUTSOLE

The HELEN BLACK is finished with leather outsole, providing a refined appearance that complements the premium full grain leather upper.

The leather outsole contributes to the boot's lightweight and flexible feel while developing natural character with wear.

THE TABI SILHOUETTE

The defining feature of the HELEN BLACK is its split-toe Tabi design, which separates the big toe from the remaining toes.

This distinctive construction creates a unique silhouette that sets the HELEN BLACK apart from traditional boots while maintaining a clean and refined appearance.

COMFORT & BREAK-IN

The low 1.5 cm heel provides a relatively flat and easy-to-wear profile.

As with genuine leather footwear, the boots may feel slightly firm at first. With regular wear, the full grain leather will naturally soften and conform to your feet.

FIRST-EVER TABI BOOTS BY JOSEPHT

The HELEN BLACK introduces Josepht's first-ever Tabi boots, combining full grain cowhide leather, a distinctive split-toe design, and a timeless black finish.

The first drop is limited to 100 pairs, making this a special introduction to a new Josepht silhouette.

If you are between sizes or unsure about your size, please contact our customer service team with your regular sneakers size. We’ll be happy to help recommend the most suitable size.
