We’ve got a good mixture of shoes as well as boots this week, as we begin the transition from spring to summer (which is odd, as boot season never truly ends). See the latest from Viberg, Crockett & Jones, Truman, and more.
If you missed our previous weekly roundups, you can find them all here.
[Ed Note: while we never choose anything specifically because of them, some of these recommendations contain affiliate links—the price is the same for you, but Stitchdown gets a small commission if you make a purchase. It’s essential to keeping the site alive, so we really, really appreciate it.]
Last Chance to Pre-Order the Stitchdown x Alden Madison Stitchup 3: ~$650
The third in the lineage of our beloved collab with Alden Madison, the Stitchup 3 is basically a 405 Indy Boot (same Brown Legacy leather upper, same natural storm welt and Neocork outsole) transformed into an ever-so-sightly classier jumper boot with the Stitchup signature “2-2” stitching on the toe and heel foxing. There will be some pairs available when they arrive by the end of summer, but your best crack at your size is right…NOW.
Crockett & Jones x Division Road Coniston in Earth Green Suede: $675
Two new suave suede collaborations are here from Crockett & Jones and Division Road. First up, the Coniston derby boot, built on the 325 last in this lush Earth Green Suede, features a 360 storm welt and Ridgeway soles.
Crockett & Jones x Division Road Grasmere in Snuff Suede: $625
Also made on the 325 last, this Grasmere derby shoe comes in a rugged snuff suede, and also features a 360 storm welt and Ridgeway soles.

Alden x Leffot Naval Boot in Black Shell Cordovan: $845 (Pre-Order)

That’s not all from Huckberry this week! They’ve also secured a couple more exclusives—two distinct pairs from Oak Street Bootmakers, both made with Cavallo horsehide from Maryam. First, we’ve got the Lakeshore Boot, a cap toe model built on the eponymous Lakeshore last, and featuring a 360 storm welt with Dainite studded soles.

Truman Boot Co. Stone Rambler MTO: $380+
Truman and C.F. Stead’s Rambler leather go together like Oreos and milk: you dip one in the other, and magic happens. In this latest MTO, you can get either a 6 inch service boot or a derby boot, and then from there you have all kinds of custom options to choose from, including ankle opening style, tongue style, hardware, and more.
