"matte, textured finish"

Black Faux Gecko is a beautifully understated, small-textured leather that delivers an “is it or isn’t it?” effect—perfect for those wanting to dip their toe into tactile leathers without going too bold. It offers a refined, subtle texture that adds interest while staying versatile and easy to style.

CELERIS RECOMMENDS

Ideal for the top sections of your boot design, but not suitable for the inner panel unless chosen purely for fashion. Frequently chosen for full boots at the client’s own risk. While not as robust as a matte leather, it performs reliably when cared for appropriately. It may scratch, but thanks to the patterned finish, marks are far less noticeable.

As always, for high-wear zones such as the back seam, heel, toe, and top piping, we suggest reinforcing with matte leather to ensure longevity and support.

LEATHER FEEL AND SUPPORT

Slightly thinner than our matte leather, yet still supportive — it will stretch slightly and is relatively easy to break in.

Adding a reinforced panel will alter these characteristics — all options will become firmer, offering maximum support and requiring a longer break-in period in most instances.
