Our Chitos are made from full-grain vegetable-tanned leather. Full-grain refers to hides that have not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed (as opposed to corrected grain) to remove imperfections (or natural marks) on the surface of the hide, beautifully imperfect!
Full-grain leathers display the natural markings and grain characteristics. The "grain" also remains to allow fiber strength and durability. Each strand is hand-cut to form the intricate basket weave! All handcrafted in Antigua Guatemala by skilled artisans who love their craft.
Perfect for warm summer days ahead. This is slow fashion at its best! Good for artisans, good for our earth, good for you!

A note about sizing...
Please measure before you buy! Our sizes run different than what your child may currently be using, so the best thing is to measure. Do not size up, our customers report they run TTS (true to size); our boots already include extra space for socks and growth.
MEASURE TWICE BUY ONCE: Please note that we no longer offer one free size exchange for children's shoes and boots. Always measure first with socks and then look up our size chart for the best fit.
