Groundcover Leather Company was founded in 1990 by Justin and Amanda McCarthy. A family business located on a farm in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa, Groundcover is the expression of a lifelong passion for leatherwork and a search for a meaningful livelihood.
From small beginnings, we have grown into a sensibly sized, sustainable enterprise and have become well-known as makers of original, finely handcrafted leather footwear and accessories.
A very special shoe that takes true craftsmanship to make.
This is a whole-cut boot meaning the upper is made with a single piece of leather that has been carefully formed over the last.
The construction is made with a Blake stitch, resulting in a 'fold under' effect rather than stitch down. There is a durable elastic gusset, and the boot is fully lined with leather.
