Traditional desert boot, soft unlined leather upper, flexible rubber sole. Made in Dunedin, NZ

McKinlays have been making shoes since 1879; as you can imagine, they’ve seen a few changes since then. However, even though tastes and styles have moved on (some would say come full circle) one thing has remained the same: high quality footwear, made to last, has always attracted discerning buyers. Although started from humble beginnings, McKinlays currently make between 130 and 160 pairs of shoes each day. As production has increased to meet growing demand, they've taken care to retain some of the traditional skills and techniques that add value to their product and set McKinlays shoes apart from the mass produced mainstream.
