THE UNDERGROUND UNION JACK STEEL CAP BOOT

An Underground Original the Union Jack leather is one that we developed in the late 1980’s working with the tannery to produce the flag base that was matched exactly to the colours of the British flag, The red, white and blue base then has a  black  top coating applied. Once the boot has been completed the black top coating is partially removed in the finishing of the boots to reveal the flag design.

A rebellious and punk inspired play on the flag that produces a unique boot .

WINKLEPICKERS

Winklepickers, were originally known as “poulaines” when these shoes were worn as a fashion and social statement. The longer the point of your shoe – then the higher your social status. The term Winklepicker was derived from using a sharp, pointed object to prise the sea-winkle from its shell.

The Underground Winklepicker Shoe and Boots styles uses an original 1950’s last shape on these classic Allgender styles.

We now offers all of the Classic Winklepickers directly from stock and ready to ship
