2013 Holiday Gift Guide – Blondo Rafael Boots for Men

Winters here are always cold. Trying to keep your guy’s feet bundled up as much as possible so he doesn’t get sick is always important. You should always make sure to outfit the man in your life with Blondo’s Rafael boots. Blondo’s Rafael boots are well crafted and will keep his feet nice and toasty on those cold winter days. The Rafael boots are the go-to boots when he leaves the house. Everything about them is great.

These boots are made from Oily nubuck. Nubuck is cow leather that has been buffed giving the outer layer a soft velvet-like feel to it. Nubuck is generally compared to suede because of the feel. One of the main differences is that Nubuck lasts a lot longer than suede since it is treated differently. While Nubuck does need water treatment, Blondo has taken care of that for you and made these boots waterproof. Their Aquaprotect system includes as waterproofing the seams and outsoles so he knows his feet will stay dry.

The Rafael also has a natural rubber sole and removable latex insole. This way he can get the best feel and comfort for his feet. The outer sole grips the ground so well that he doesn’t have to worry about slipping and the heel of his boots is not hard so he can get a great feel while walking. With laces and an inside zipper, these boots won’t being leaving his feet for a while. A fleece lining completes the boots and is so soft on the feet. Don’t be surprised to find him sleeping in them.

The Rafael comes in Black, Café Nuback and Graphite. Sizes run from a size 7 all the way up to a 14. This is great as some of men wear larger shoe sizes that may be hard to find in stores. There is also a wide width available if he needs that little bit of extra room so his feet won’t feel squished.

Blondo was founded over a hundred years ago and has been focusing on winter footwear for over 40 years. They are a favorite among many and know how to produce high quality boots for all to enjoy. Each pair exudes luxury and are beautifully crafted.

All Blondo boots come with their amazingly advanced technology. This can vary from their lightweight, slip-resistant outsoles, to their Aquaprotect rain repellent system, to various linings that are just right for his feet.
