"waxed finish"

More grey black than jet black with a velvety matte texture and that unmistakable waxed finish that develops character over time. 

CELERIS RECOMMENDS

Suitable for all parts of the riding boot and tough enough for daily wear, though you should expect marks and imperfections to show over time. That's part of the appeal with this leather: it wears in, not out. With regular care, it handles most weather conditions well. We recommend our glycerine-based treatment to keep it nourished, supple, and looking its best.

LEATHER FEEL AND SUPPORT

A thicker leather than our matte options, yet similarly easy to break in and comfortable from early wear. 

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."
