RIKARD shoes

The Gidy work boots and cushioned soles, developed by a medical doctor recovering from a broken foot, seem like an extremely unlikely starting point for the footwear that would later become a staple of avant-garde youth culture. But why would a shoe synonymous with personal style have a story about doing things the conventional way? After being widely adopted by group cultures in the 1960s, Britain unlocked the fashion potential of its humble work boots, the genie truly broke through the boundaries, and the Dr. Martens dance style was born. This Rikard 8-eye version is made from fine-grain Lucido leather with a padded collar and tongue, and features a SoftWair sole for enhanced comfort from the very first step.
