These boots have long been a favourite of professional hunters and clients trekking across Africa in search of game. Hand-crafted in Zimbabwe by locals, from local materials, they are as African as the continent herself.
Each pair of Selous boots is stamped with a unique serial number and adorned with an in-stitched Westley Richards tag. The Impala hide bellows tongue, and soft collar and the buffalo hide toe and heel, are constructed from leathers tanned in-country from native game animals.
To lighten the boot and lessen drying time, the side panels and the section forward of the laces is constructed from rugged canvas. The soles are of tyre-grip rubber with a deep-ridged pattern, ideal for sandy and rocky terrain.
These boots are protective, fit like a second skin and cushion your feet over the roughest terrain, for however long your daily stalks demand.
Our Courteney boots come in their distinctive box with Courteney branded literature and cleaning instructions, canvas boot bag, spare laces and a twelve-month guarantee.
These are the authentic Courteney Selous boots, not to be confused with inferior imitations. The Selous is the top of the range and this canvas-paneled version brings a new level of comfort and lightness to the range.
