Type 01 Desert Boots

Type 01s. Desert Boots the way they used to be made. Designed in England. Handmade in Italy.

From our "Tobacco" Line, featuring the highest-end Luxury Leathers: Made from the finest, cashmere soft reverse calf suede.

Our Type 01 desert boots in the Hutton signature English Tobacco reverse calf suede.

Truth be told, when we created the Hutton Playtime, not only did we fall deeply in love with the boot itself, we also fell head over heels for the impeccible leather from which our Hutton Playtime is made.

This obsession led to curiousity, and we couldn't shake the idea of elevating our Type 01s by having them made out of reverse calf.

True reverse calf is made of superior leather hides that would only be used for the highest grade leather shoes made by the world’s top makers.

It is cashmere soft, fits like a glove, and has an essence that's hard to describe in words. And when you put it on your feet, you just know how different it is.

It is currently and has always been one of the most expensive leathers available because of how much more difficult it is to produce. Few tanneries across the globe produce calf leather.

When it is used to make the highest grade leather shoes, calf leather is almost exclusively used facing out, rather than on the suede side - or rough out as it's sometimes called.

Because calf is so special, this makes sense - you want to show it off, and not many can tell the difference between regular leather suede, and high-end calf leather suede.

But we know the difference. We can feel the difference, and we know you can, too.

And so we chose to make the Type 01 in this hyper luxury leather as well - not knowing exactly what we'd see since reverse calf desert boots may never have been produced before - we certainly know no examples.

Obsesessed doesn't even begin to describe how we feel about the result.

It shines through in the pictures - that leather is spectacular.

But the difference is even more overwhelming when you hold it in your hands, when you feel it on your feet.

Comfortable is an understatement. Sometimes they feel like the hug of the softest fabric imaginable, other times you feel almost like they aren't even there.

Type 01 Desert Boots Size Guide & Chart

Because everyone's feet are completely unique in terms of shape and size, charts and sizing guides are often imperfect.

That being said, we have done our best to make sure we have the most accurate information about sizing by using data collected from sizing surveys sent out to our customers.

The general rule of thumb when it comes to Hutton's sizing guide: prioritize your EU size if you know it, and use your Typical UK Size and/or Typical US Men's Size as secondary factors to help you determine your size.

If you are in doubt, please size up.

For instance, if you're considering getting a size 41 and think it may be a touch too small, as sometimes you grab a size 41 and they fit too snugly for your comfort, err on the side of caution and grab a size up (a 42 in this example) instead.

*Please be aware that the Hutton Playtime model fits just a little more snug than our Type 01 Desert Boots.
