All-Weather Amalia Boot

The boot features Nisolo's custom Cellfit Memory Foam insole system with built-in arch support, providing cushioning comparable to high-end mattresses. With a 5.12-inch shaft height and 1.25-inch heel, the All-Weather Amalia Boot is designed to function in rain or shine conditions while maintaining the company's commitment to 100% living wages and net-zero carbon emissions.

The All-Weather Amalia Boot follows a combat boot silhouette adapted for all-weather use. The design prioritizes water resistance through a waterproof upper paired with a gusseted tongue that prevents moisture intrusion. The round-toe silhouette provides room for toe movement, while the lace-up closure allows adjustment for different foot shapes and sock thicknesses.

The boot measures 5.12 inches from the heel to the top of the shaft, with a 1.25-inch heel height. This moderate height provides ankle support without the bulk of taller combat boots. The design balances rugged functionality with refined aesthetics, suitable for both woodland trails and city streets.

The All-Weather Amalia Boot uses waterproof leather throughout the upper, with a soft interior leather lining for comfort against the foot. The Tobacco colorway features waterproof leather treated with dyes and waxes that create texture and dimension while providing a soft, velvety touch. All leather used in the boot is certified by the Leather Working Group, meeting environmental standards for tanning processes.

The outsole consists of custom-designed studded rubber, providing grip on varied surfaces while maintaining durability for extended wear. The studded pattern offers traction in wet conditions, addressing the boot's all-weather design purpose. The gusseted tongue construction creates a water-resistant barrier between the laces and the interior, preventing rain and snow from entering through the lacing system.

The All-Weather Amalia Boot incorporates Nisolo's custom memory foam insole system, featuring multiple layers designed for support and cushioning. The top layer consists of a performance-driven, lightweight leather alternative with breathable perforations, providing a supportive surface that allows air circulation.

Beneath the top layer, Cellfit Memory Foam with integrated arch support provides dense, responsive cushioning. This foam uses the same material found in high-end mattresses, offering shock absorption during walking. The bottom layer consists of firmer Cellfit foam made from breathable, partially recycled material that molds to the individual shape of the wearer's foot over time.

All insole layers are removable for cleaning, allowing maintenance of the insole system without replacing the entire boot. The multi-layer construction creates what Nisolo describes as an ultra-cushioned, shock-absorbing platform for extended wear.

The All-Weather Amalia Boot runs small compared to standard shoe sizing. Nisolo recommends customers select a half size larger than their normal shoe size to achieve proper fit. For example, a customer who typically wears size 8 should order size 8.5 in this model.

This sizing recommendation appears consistently across multiple retailers carrying the boot, suggesting the fit characteristic is inherent to the design rather than varying by production run. The smaller-than-standard fit may relate to the boot's waterproof construction, which typically requires closer tolerances in the upper materials.

The All-Weather Amalia Boot is handmade in a family-run factory located in León, Mexico. This facility operates under Nisolo's ethical manufacturing standards, which include providing workers with 100% living wages. The León location serves as one of Nisolo's partner factories, alongside facilities in Nairobi, Kenya.

Production follows traditional handcrafting methods rather than automated manufacturing processes. The factory maintains Nisolo's certification as a B Corporation, meeting rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. In Nisolo's B Impact assessment, the company earned an overall score of 115.4, compared to a median score of 50.9 for ordinary businesses.

The All-Weather Amalia Boot participates in Nisolo's broader sustainability initiatives, including carbon offset programs and responsible leather sourcing. Nisolo combats climate change by offsetting 100% of carbon emissions from production and shipping, resulting in a net-zero carbon footprint for the product. These carbon offsets protect over 111 million square feet of the Amazon Basin from deforestation.

The boot's leather comes from tanneries using byproducts from the meat industry rather than leather specifically raised for hide production. As of 2024, 95% of Nisolo's leather carries Leather Working Group certification, indicating adherence to environmental standards in tanning chemistry, water use, and waste management.

Nisolo operates a Shoe Reclamation Program in partnership with nonprofit Soles4Souls. Through this program, 100% of the 7,000-plus pairs of shoes collected have been donated to the organization for redistribution or recycling, extending product lifecycles beyond individual ownership.

The All-Weather Amalia Boot retails at $260.00, positioned in the mid-range pricing tier for waterproof leather boots. The boot is available through multiple distribution channels, including Nisolo's direct-to-consumer website and major retailers such as Zappos, Macy's, Madewell, and Nordstrom.

Color options include Tobacco and Brandy, both featuring the same waterproof leather construction and memory foam insole system. The multi-channel availability allows customers to purchase through their preferred retailer while maintaining consistent pricing across distribution partners.
