The Ultimate Weekend Boot For Men
12/1/2023
From running errands to a weekend getaway, we have the ultimate men’s weekend boot. The Tantalum is the dream combo of chunky, comfy and good-thinking, so let’s take a closer look at this casual men’s boot.
Why Chelsea Boots?
Classic and comfy, Chelsea boots are a staple for every man’s wardrobe. With a chunky sole for a modern twist, the Tantalum will be your favourite off-duty boots. It features elastic side panels and a close-fitting silhouette, making it the perfect accessory with well-worn denim or tailored pants.
Keep things simple with no laces and branded pull tabs for optimal convenience. This versatile Chelsea boot will take you from 9-5 to 5-9 in the blink of an eye.
Premium Materials
The finest boots are synonymous with high-quality ingredients, so we went looking for the best in the business. Handmade by artisans in Portugal, these leather boots are crafted with premium materials and traditional techniques to give you a boot that’s built to last. Made with LWG-certified leather and biodegradable polymers, every component that makes the Tantalum has been carefully considered to have less impact on the planet.
Hidden Comfort
There is nothing better than rugged footwear that moulds to the shape of your feet and provides all-day comfort. All thanks to our biomechanical footbed, it is crafted with arch support and a metatarsal dome to effectively support your feet as you go about your day.
You wouldn’t know it, but this little bed of goodness is kinder to our planet compared to other materials. The B.plantfoam™ footbed is made from 72% plant-based materials (USDA Certified Biobased). With a carbon footprint of 3.85 kg CO2e, it reduces CO2 emissions by 70% when compared to traditional petroleum-based footbeds.
Weekend Styling: Here’s What We’re Doing
The Tantalum checks all the boxes when it comes to a chunky, casual boot. No fuss, no worries, here’s our go-to tips for styling this versatile men’s leather boot.
Dark Denim
Casual denim is your friend for all things weekend. Our mate, Jack Reynolds, knows exactly how to hit the streets with the Tantalum. He shows us how it’s done by pairing these casual boots with dark denim and a classic white tee. Brunch, lunch and dinner plans sorted.

Chinos
Need to step it up a little? Don’t worry, the Tantalum does dressy too. All-round legend Benn Bromley is our go-to for business casual. He styles these men’s leather boots with neutral chinos and a tailored blazer. Perfect for a nice dinner or a casual cocktail event.

Customise Your Fit
The icing on the cake? Get a perfect fit with the The Fit Kit. Our removable footbed allows for a customisable fit to suit every foot shape.
Feeling too wide? Not a problem. Simply remove the standard footbed inside the boots and insert the thinner ones provided in The Fit Kit. Feeling too narrow? We have a fix for this too. Remove the standard footbeds inside the boots and slide in the green forefoot padding provided in the Fit Kit. Put the footbed back in and you’ll instantly have a snugger fit. Got a custom orthotic? No worries! Take out our footbed and insert your orthotic for a personalised fit.
Get Weekend Ready
Now that you’re shoes are sorted, it’s time to book those weekend plans. Trust us (and the many 5-star reviews), you won’t regret the Tantalum as your go-to casual boot.
If you want to see them in person, pop into one of our Australian boutiques for a hands-on fitting experience. If you can’t make it in-store, book a Virtual Fitting and will happily create a personal shopping experience online.
