Dilettante 'The Duke' Vintage Blue croc Zip Boot

Was £525.00 £395.00

The Dilettante ‘The Duke’ is a men’s vintage blue croc-effect zip boot handcrafted in Italy and built on the new Dilettante last. Combining richly textured crocodile-effect leather, ornate metal hardware, and a sleek modern silhouette, it delivers bold statement styling with unmistakable Jeffery West character.

Built using traditional Blake stitched construction, The Duke offers flexibility, comfort, and lightweight wear while maintaining the refined profile expected from luxury Italian footwear. The vintage blue croc-effect finish creates exceptional depth and tonal variation, while the ornate buckle detail and signature devil head zip pull add distinctive character inspired by classic rock and roll glamour.

The Dilettante last is a striking addition to the Jeffery West Italian mainline collection. Often described as the love child of the Rochester and Ziggy lasts, it combines the best characteristics of both. The toe profile features less spring for a cleaner, flatter appearance, while the heel height sits neatly between the two, creating a silhouette that feels both contemporary and familiar to long-time Jeffery West customers.
