There are a handful of colours that are so impossible to put your finger on that their uniqueness is worth mentioning.

The first we released along this vein was the Type 01 in Nevada Sand - a colouration of stunning suede that words completely fail to describe.

The Moss Sand leather on this pair of Hutton Playtime chukkas fits the bill just as well.

Moss Sand is certainly a shade between brown and green, though for the life of us we couldn't tell you which of the two is the dominant hue. You'll have to let us know which you think it is.

Looking at the leather there seems to be an all out war between brown and green, and which in the moment is the more dominant colour.

We've tried to take pictures to illustrate exactly what we mean, but certainly this is one of those things that photography and lighting can't quite capture.

In overcast, shady outdoor lighting, the leather looks brown, almost - with a subtle tinge of green - only a hint - peering through.

Put the boots in full sun and you'll see the warmth of the green more clearly. Subtle, still not enough to really commit to one colour over the other, but the green is more obviously there.

Then when the boots are taken indoors, somehow the green tones become far more plain to the naked eye, and magically it seems as though they have transformed colour to a very earthy, very brown-toned shade of green.

This is especially obvious when they stand atop wood, where you definitely would feel uncomfortable stating they are a true brown.

They're about as green as brown can get, or as brown as green can get, whichever way you prefer to look at it. Utterly fascinating.

Our best guess is these boots may cause a sort of (remember that viral blue and black versus white and gold dress debate that became an internet phenomenon?) in real time.

Even looking at the photographs of the boots on different devices makes us see the boots as a bit greener or a bit more brown, it's quite an interesting shade to say the least.

Needless to say, like our Nevada Sand leather - this colour is not for those who are looking for shoes that are standard issue, commonplace.

For those looking for something quite obviously unique and inexplicably interesting? All while still matching pretty well near any outfit you might pull together because of their brown undertone? The Moss Sand Playtime certainly fits the bill.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Where are Hutton boots and shoes made?

All Hutton footwear is handmade in Italy, in a hundred year old family-owned factory where they've made crepe-sole boots and shoes since the 1960s.

Can you tell me more about Hutton's signature blonde crepe soles?

Many boots feature crepe soles, but not all crepe is created equal.

In this day and age, most shoe companies will choose the cheapest crepe to use in the production of their shoes and boots.

The option is chosen to check a box, so the consumer sees "crepe" and assumes quality.

But when we choose our materials, we choose to skip past the lower tiers.

At Hutton, we refuse to settle for offering even second best - our blond crepe soles are, quite literally, the best of the best, and the only option we see fit to use.

What about the leathers and other materials used in your footwear?

Each and every Hutton boot and shoe - no matter the colouration - is made of premium quality, locally sourced, Italian leather.

The leather is dyed and tanned by hand - using only natural, vegetable-tanned - a process that happens in Italy as well.

As a result, all of our materials are ethically and responsibly sourced. They are also environmentally friendly, as they are hand-made in Italy using locally sourced materials.

We use expensive, vegetable tanned leather that doesn't require heavy metals, such as chrome, in the process.

All the solvents used to make the boots are water-based, so they do not poison the factory workers.

Even the stitching on every pair is made from cotton sourced from the same region as our factory.

Do you have any care instructions? How do I clean and maintain your boots and shoes?

When it comes to the care and maintenance of our footwear, there are no requirements.

Brand new, out-of-box, our boots are ready-to-wear and created to be worn and used for years to come.

That being said, if you'd like to learn more about maintenance & care, you can find a full guide here.
