 Guys, good day. Welcome to Butlosophy. I'm Tech here. I'm working on Wajik country and I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land. This is going to be a different video today because I'm making my way to my computer because I'm going to explore a couple of websites which I think you'll be interested in. So buckle in while I log on. So this is the first website I wanted to show you. Bordon Colombia which is bordon.com.co. Bordon is a reasonably new boot maker started in Colombia by Andres Silva and his partner Natalia Herrera, a business colleague. It's got an interesting line in boots and I wanted to show you really some of the characteristics of this brand and then what they're offering. So in how we work, for example, they say it's easy. As you may know, we manufacture our Isidro boots exclusively on demand which reduces waste and enables us to employ a more environmentally friendly production process. The environment is very important to Bordon. Orders are opened throughout the year at various periods. Each order period is approximately two weeks long. After this production begins and lasts for seven to eight weeks until orders are dispatched by DHL to the destination country and joined them will be the final stage. And here are some pictures of their newest release the Isidro Chelsea which I'll come back to in a minute. They're opening this at time of filming in about five days and I think when I when I put this up it'll probably be about four three or four days to go. So let's have a look at the about us page and talking a little bit about Bordon. The project started three years ago. The main idea was to address the lack of suitable footwear in our Colombian market by offering potential customers an excellent quality product at prices that were fully accessible to the target market. They initially made their boots in Europe and import them into Colombia. But then we decided to move to Colombia due to COVID-19 and the European crisis. So we began designing our 100% made in Colombia collection. And this is what I like. Our primary goals should be to protect the environment, our artisans and our customers. So we want to reduce overpriced stock items and the retail business model at every stage of the manufacturing process. I think this is fantastic. I wanted to show you some FAQs as well like where are the products made? 100% in Colombia. Where is the raw material from? Uppers and lining leathers come from the best gold-rated tanneries in Italy. The soles come from Vibram. The insole, midsole and heel block come from the best vegetable tanneries in Colombia. So they're trying to keep it local. The boots are in stitch-down construction. So they are fully re-solable. Construction of the boots, we manufacture our boots with stitch-down, double row and nail-down construction. Do you use cork filling? Yes, between the insole and midsole of all our shoes is cork. It also goes into sizing descriptions about how you should wear them, how you should size them. And basically they're in European sizes. So what I do is I check your brand size, whether it's in UK or US, and convert it to a European size. I'm not forgetting to go down a half a size, I think. I find that I go down a half a size from my brand size. But if you have any issues at all, you can contact info at bordon.com.co or whatsapp. Now let's take a look at the boots. So what they offer, the Isidro is the newest boot that they have. And that's what I'll talk about in a minute. But they started with the Tucano boots. And I've got a Tucano boot, which I have reviewed and done an unboxing of. And you can just check my channel and have a look at them. They also do the Juanez boot, which is a plain toe boot, quite similar to the Tucano, except it's a plain toe service boot. But what I wanted to talk about today, because I'm really excited about these Chelsea's, is the Isidro boot. Let's have a look. So these are new releases. That's what's going to be open in five days, two hours, 42 minutes, 40 seconds and counting. So they're offering the Isidro in black, in waxy medium brown, in burgundy, isn't that a gorgeous colour, in a wedge sole in the various leathers, and in a waxy dark brown. Now, I believe all of these leathers are available in both the Isidro Commando sole, which is this one. I think that's Vibram, Vibram. But I believe they're going to be offering it in Isidro as well. And there is a Vibram Eaton sole, which is the Vibram version of Daynut. I think with a boot like this, with this waxy suede, you've got to go for those Commando soles, haven't you? Those Commando lug soles. It's a really beautiful looking leather, and with that Commando lug sole, really great. And the characteristic red lining of the Bordon brand. So I'm really torn. I'm definitely going to get a pair of these. I do like their waxy suede leathers, because I have a pair of Tucano in them. But I'm interested in this burgundy as well, because that is really a gorgeous colour. And especially in the Commando sole, it's going to look sensational. But I was torn, not just between those colours, but how about this? The wage sole Chelsea. That's going to be super comfortable, I think. If you have a look at the description, construction stitched down double row, upper waterproof Italian wax suede, and full grain oiled latigo. That must be the black. Colours in dark brown, medium brown and black. Lining is pure aniline Italian calf. Inside and the midsole is the Colombian veg tanned leather. Vibram Christy Morflex outsole with a cork filling, a leather shank, a leather heel counter, and the fitting is in an e-width European. And as I said, if you have any problems with the sizing, go check out what Andres has to say about your size. Here are some pictures, don't they look great? They're just fabulous. All right, so let's go across to my second website I wanted to explore, because this is the second launch of a Chelsea boot. This is by boot brand Christian Daniel. Now Christian Daniel is started by Christian Ramos, and I believe his father's name is Daniel. So the boot brand name is a combination of his and his father's name is Christian Daniel. New boot maker. This is the first boot he's offering. Timeless, functional, comfortable. Let's have a look at this, what Christian Daniel was about. The story of Christian Daniel boots. As a first generation Mexican American born in San Francisco California, growing up was an experience. The city is a melting pot of cultures, ideas, people and fashion. My father Daniel was someone I always looked up to. He could often be seen wearing his signature Mexican style cowboy boots. New beginnings. Fast forward 20 years, fresh out after a long struggle with drugs and alcohol. Well, it's amazing Christian, amazing where you've got to. Fresh out of rehab after a long struggle with drugs and alcohol, I took interesting shoes again. I began buying Jordans compulsively. Not long after I began noticing my fashion forward brother Alejandro, wearing boots more regularly. The initial love and appreciation that I felt for my dad's boots was sparked again. So I set out my own journey to explore the world of boots, falling in love with the art behind the boots constructed with due diligence. The entire process of building a boot is a team effort and a labor of love. Isn't that just fantastic? That's something to admire. Now, let's have a look at his process and how he does things. So the way he manufactures boots, ethically sourced, fair trade for all. Boots built to last. All our boots are good year well construction, which provides you the consumer with a product that is built to withstand the test of time. Expert artisans, people first. These are some amazing value statements. Ethically sourced, fair trade. Boots built to last. Expert artisans, people first. Vegetable tanning is the most environmentally friendly method of leather production. You know, this new generation of boot makers have got the right thing in their hearts. It's really something that I'm really excited to support. But hey, we're here for the boots. Let's take a look at the boots. So this is the Fernando Chelsea boot that Christian Daniel is launching with. They come in black and maple. Oh, look at that maple color. The Chelsea boot was made popular in England in the early 1900s. And if you've seen some of my Chelsea boot reviews, you'll see the history in them. They were actually made for Queen Victoria as her riding boots. The Christian Daniel collection Chelsea incorporates all of these classic traits while giving it a personality lift. The Christian Daniel Chelsea's 199 last was designed specifically to be roomy in the toe box and the waist while still maintaining an elegant appearance. The Christian Daniel Chelsea also boasts a beautiful welt coupled with precise stitching. I mean, look at that gorgeous welt. And I think it's probably stands out a little more in the black boot. Isn't that just absolutely sensational? Sorry, that we are with maple. So the components, the construction is 360 degrees storm welt. The upper is LeFarque Albratos maple and black leathers. The welt is veg tanned. The midsole is veg tanned. Double sided elastic goring. That's these elastic panels. Natural cork filler with a steel shank. The insole is veg tanned leather. Pull tabs have a rear CD embossed logo. The outsole are from Dr. Sol's. Now there are two versions. The maple has the day night like outsole made by Dr. Sol and the black one has this Dr. Sol half sole, which I think that's calling my name. The website also gives you a fitting and Christian has given his boots and his sneakers and how he sizes it and what he thinks you should size if you're following in parallel accordingly. Now, the way Christian is doing it is not through a group MTO. This is his first offering so he's doing a Kickstarter campaign. So if you go to Kickstarter and you search Christian Daniel, this is what you'll get and I'll actually put a link to do it as well below. So it's the usual Kickstarter campaign. There's a bit about the man behind the boots shows pictures of the boots. Isn't that just beautiful? What we're doing and he's got the various offers in the in the panels below and what you can pledge and so on. So I really do like these two bootmakers. They're new bootmakers. They're making what look like fantastic Chelsea's and I'm going to be getting a couple of pairs myself. So get on there guys. I'll put links to these two websites below. So that's it guys. I hope you like the new content of the video today. Go check out those two new Chelsea's. I think they're really something quite exciting from Bordon and from Christian Daniel. I put the links below as well if you want to go through it that way. And hey, don't forget to click on like and subscribe. So stay safe guys. Bye boots and I'll see you soon.
