Hutton Desert Boots are no more

I have just received an e-mail from Hutton.  They are ceasing production.


Do you know what a Palmist once said to me? She said: will you let go!

Damn they're the only DBs outside of Clarks that I have ever been tempted by.


some sort of banal legitimacy

Looks like I'm going to have to stick to the made in Vietnam Clarks. Strange because it seems like the Huttons sold very well.

I have seen Hutton adverts too.  I am sure they are on Ivy Style.

Nice pair, in my size, for sale on Ebay.  I can't say I'm not tempted.

They really are a nice, Italian-made boot.  Certainly a cut above the Italian-made Florsheim Johnny Simons was stocking around 2007.

Shame they aren't my size, would've definitely taken a punt.

They're made by Astorflex to The Weejun's specs. I like them, think they're great quality and very kind to ageing foot arches, but do they lack a certain visual va va voom? I think the Clark's silhouette is still the one and they are now made in Portugal to a much higher standard than the Vietnamese ones. Worth mentioning here that the Weejun's version of the McQueen Playboy chukka is something else - great quality and design and absurdly comfortable.

Re: Hutton Desert Boots are no more

I'm in two minds about Clarks'.  I've taken to my Astorflex desert boots like a duck to water but saw a very nice pair of Clarks' in a kind of ginger snuff colour last year.  They had been reduced in price but weren't my size.  Otherwise I might have taken the plunge. 
At some point, though, they switched from Vietnam to China, didn't they?

Did you get a pair of the tumble grain leather too 2RS? I'm loving how the leather's bedding in and make a neat change from the suede ones with cords and the like

I'm afraid I didn't. I wasn't convinced by them and I'm already regretting that decision...
