Vincent Boot

The boot exemplifies the brand's approach to creating footwear that combines historical inspiration with contemporary craftsmanship. Made by a small team of craftsmen in Japan, the Vincent Boot incorporates Rolling Dub Trio's commitment to old world construction methods while featuring materials processed specifically to achieve a vintage aesthetic that develops character through wear.

The Vincent Boot draws direct inspiration from footwear depicted in a Vincent van Gogh painting, connecting the design to artistic heritage rather than purely functional considerations. This artistic foundation distinguishes the Vincent Boot from conventional work boots, positioning it as Rolling Dub Trio's interpretation of footwear as wearable art.

The Balmoral parade boot silhouette provides the foundation for the design, featuring the closed lacing system characteristic of formal military and dress boots. This traditional foundation receives hand-finished vintage styling treatment, creating a boot that references historical aesthetics while incorporating contemporary construction techniques.

The design philosophy aligns with Rolling Dub Trio's approach to producing footwear as "pieces of art for feet," where aesthetic considerations carry equal weight with functional performance in the design process.

The Vincent Boot features direct Goodyear welted construction, a method that resembles stitchdown construction in appearance while providing the resoling capabilities associated with Goodyear welting. This construction approach ensures the boot can be fully resoled, supporting Rolling Dub Trio's philosophy of creating footwear that is rebuildable and recraftable over time.

The construction incorporates heavy-duty stitchwork throughout, reflecting the attention to detail characteristic of Japanese craftsmanship. The interior features kip leather lining, providing comfort and durability while maintaining the boot's premium material standards.

The sole construction utilizes thick leather paired with Quabaug heels, ensuring durability while maintaining the aesthetic appropriate for a boot inspired by historical footwear. This combination provides the performance characteristics necessary for regular wear while preserving the vintage-inspired design elements.

The Vincent Boot utilizes cow hide leather that balances substantial thickness with pliability, creating a material suitable for both durability and comfort. The leather undergoes careful vintage processing by hand in Japan, connecting the material treatment to Rolling Dub Trio's commitment to Japanese craftsmanship while achieving the desired aesthetic characteristics.

Following tanning, the leather receives hand-dyeing and oiling treatments designed to create a unique slightly vintage aesthetic. This finishing process ensures that each boot develops individual character through wear, with the patina and aging patterns emerging naturally based on use patterns and environmental exposure.

The boot is available in Dirty Brown and Dirty Dark Brown Cow Steer options, providing colorways that complement the vintage-inspired design while offering choice in the degree of initial aging effect achieved through the finishing process.

The Vincent Boot is built on a last designed to accommodate various foot shapes while maintaining the boot's distinctive aesthetic profile. The last features a low profile in the midfoot area and widens from the ball of the foot forward, providing accommodation for different foot widths while maintaining the sleek appearance characteristic of Balmoral boots.

The toe area provides substantial wiggle room and width at the ball of the foot, incorporating a slight upturn that contributes to the boot's visual character while ensuring comfort during extended wear. The design opens up at the ball of the foot with good volume in the rounded toe box, making the boot particularly suitable for wider feet after a break-in period.

The midfoot area maintains a slimmer profile that may feel snug initially but eases with wear, following the pattern typical of quality leather footwear that conforms to the wearer's foot shape over time.

The Vincent Boot is manufactured in Japan by a small team of craftsmen, reflecting Rolling Dub Trio's approach to limited production that prioritizes quality over quantity. This small-scale production allows for the individual attention necessary to achieve the hand-finished vintage styling that characterizes the model.

The manufacturing process incorporates traditional techniques adapted for the specific requirements of the Vincent Boot's artistic inspiration and vintage aesthetic. Each boot receives individual treatment during the finishing process, ensuring that no two pairs are identical while maintaining consistent quality standards across production.
