Construction and materials
Santalum constructs the Service Boot using traditional methods, including Goodyear welt and Veldtschoen techniques. The upper is made from a range of leathers, such as Horween Chromexcel horsehide and SB Foot's Black Klondike leather, which is recognized for its teacore characteristic where the black finish reveals a brown base with wear. Many models include Dr. Sole Supergrip half soles and heels. The boots sometimes feature unstructured toes, solid brass eyelets, gusseted tongues, and low-profile pull tabs.
Sizing and fit
Santalum requests that buyers submit detailed foot measurements, including ball, waist, instep, heel, and ankle circumferences, as well as foot tracings. The company also asks for examples of sizing from other footwear brands to achieve an accurate fit for each pair.
Origin
Santalum operates from Bandung, Indonesia, a city known for its footwear production history and influence from Dutch colonial-era traditions. The company began making footwear in 2010 and incorporates both traditional construction methods and contemporary materials in its products.
