Armando Cabral highlights his new chukka boots for Autumn/Winter 2012. Made from Saffiano leather in his “choice” Italian factories, Cabral works to mixes a sneaker-like sole against uppers made from materials like soft deer leather, suede brandishing, and a triple brushed diadema leather which gives the material a pleated look. We will share more from the collection shortly.

The red brick sole (or orange as they say it) on the Armando Carbral grained leather black shoes look damn solid in photos. The grain leather is the winner here. Crisp looking and ready to wear. Wrong Weather has them. Italian made.

More looks after the click.

We’re not sure what it is about modelling but it tends to bring out the slash in people. You know, model slash actor, slash skateboarder and so on. Armando Cabral is a slash shoemaker with the slight difference that his stuff is actually good – as opposed to just being tolerable (We’re looking at you Mr Gandy – you and your useless style tips).

Get up close and personal with a few models after the leap.

Again, pretty self explanatory.

The showroom next door have been showcasing quality goods for a while now and this season is no different. Armando Cabral’s footwear is still a relative puppy in the shoe world, but their take on things have always caught our eye. This season they’ve managed to pull off the unenviable task of making one of those brogued sneaker hybrids not look like the child of frankenstein. Elsewhere, there’s some good looking shoes for the folks who like a bit of colour on their feet.

Take a leap to a couple more models.
