Variant Options: Tan Welt Versus Dark Brown Welt Playtime
While it is very difficult to photograph, please note that the suede and crepe soles on the Playtime by Hutton Tan Welt and Dark Brown Welt are both identical.
The only difference between these two variants is the welt colour - the welt being the thin leather line between the uppers and the crepe foxing.
In the image below, you'll see the difference in welt colour - with the tan welt pictured on left, and the dark brown welt pictured on right of the image:
Crepe Over Time: Before & After 7 Months Wear
The colour of the blonde crepe on Hutton Playtime becomes a dark brown over time.
The crepe foxing around the soles gets nice and 'fluffy' with wear.
You can see this in many of the pictures we share on social media of worn-in Playtime chukkas, but we thought we'd share a side by side image so you could tell quite easily for yourself.
Pictured in the images below are one pair of Hutton Playtime with Tan Welt new, out of box (on the left side of the images), and one pair of Hutton Playtime with Tan Welt after approximately 7 months of wear (on the right side of the images).
Here's a close up of what the soles look like out of box versus after 7 months wear:
Given more time and wear, the soles will darken even more.
