The boots are made from Horween Chromexcel leather that is commonly used by Wolverine, Oak Street Bootmakers, Alden etc. The boots are also lined air jordan 15 retro laser black gold with lamb skin.

Overall they seem to be well constructed. I inspected the stitching closely and can find any irregularities. The non removable insole used is quite comfortable and there is a pad which provides good air jordan 2010 white black red arch support.

That may be my only gripe then with these boots.

The insole on a blake rapid is quite integral to the structure of the boot And not using a full grain leather insole detracts from the quality of the boot.

Why: Leather insole allows it to flex with the upper leather and midsole air jordan 1 retro black red leather. Using a more rigid structure like foam or fibreboard can break/crack/tear and no longer stay rigid, loosening the stitch and structure. This means only a thin piece of leather is holding the top stitch in place with the upper and midsole. It is not something air jordan 12 playoffs black white varsity red you see on the outside of the boot so people tend to miss it. (EDIT: Just wanted to air jordan 19 white chrome grey add this in, blake rapid boots tend to air jordan 13 grey toe white team red flint grey be more rigid than goodyear welted counterparts as well. Less flex overall in the boot)
