The Friday Find: Palomo 1953 Is Making Some of the Coolest, Very Best Men’s Boots Around

Palomo 1953 men's boots

It seems we tend to say this often on this Brooklyn style blog, but if ever you’ve come across a pair of men’s boots so stunning that you’ve wondered why they’re not in your current rotation, well, today’s selection fits the bill. Palomo 1953 has been popping up quite a few places as of late (notably through the digital shelves at Huckberry), and this acclaimed bootmaker is worth your time and attention.

The family-owned El Salvador company has cut its teeth (and its impressive leather hides for handsome boots) across the decades, and Huckberry rightly notes the fast-growing, aptly named brand has “quickly grown into an internationally recognized name for hand-sewn, heritage-inspired, Goodyear-welted boots.”

We’re certainly talking refined quality and rugged-yet-dressy appeal in each stitch, notably the Palomo Edmund Plain Toe Boots shown above (and below!). The company makes use of richly crafted leathers like Horween Chromexcel, which will both develop a wonderful patina while molding to your foot with each wear.

From captoe boots to sleek Chelsea boots and the hard-working yet stylish plain-toe boots shown above, these are utterly classic silhouettes with easily wearable appeal, whether paired with charcoal wool trousers, navy chinos or expertly faded blue jeans. I’m personally a fan of the Palomo Edmund Plain Toe Boots, which should prove easy to dress up and equally at home when worn out in the field or around a roaring bonfire.

Bolstered by a Vibram rubber outsole and a keen eye for the details (including a leather midsole and full leather lining), antique brass hardware and waxed cotton laces finish off these eye-catching boots in expert fashion. Cushioned leather insoles should also offer the utmost in support that molds to your feet over time.

What’s not to love about the Palomo Edmund Plain Toe Boots, or indeed, the acclaimed heritage bootmaker in general? Try a pair on for size and discover for yourself, my friends.
