The softest shoe you will probably ever buy. With the ultra-soft leather and sole used for this shoe, you will confuse your Ratel boots with your slippers. Wildebees’ Ratel boots is a must-have for your shoe closet as this goes with everything and the more you wear it, the softer it gets. The Ratel Boot is proudly hand-made in South-Africa and is made of a soft, dark brown, genuine leather which is specifically designed to work in and under any circumstance or situation. It has good ankle support as it is 7 inches from the ground up. This boot is extremely durable as it is made of a double layer of leather and it has padding around the ankles and in the tongue. The more you wear it, the softer and more comfortable it gets, especially our unique soles. (The secret is in the sole!) We also offer the service of resoling, so if it happens that your soles are worn out, bring (or send) them back to us for a revamp – take good care of them and they can last you a lifetime! These boots do not have a steel tip.
