Meet Roskilde

We're going over what makes the Roskilde one of the most popular & easiest Duckfeet styles.

"I've had my brown Roskildes for 3 years now, wear them nearly every day, & they're still in fantastic condition. They've worn in beautifully, are soft & formed to my feet, with a beautiful patina….I wear them with wool socks in winter & barefoot or light socks in summer, & they fit well either way." -Maggie

Features

• This unisex boot is great for both men and women, and offers an easy slip-on entry.
• Duckfeet Roskildes are pull-on chelsea boots made from vegetable-tanned heavy leather, built on top of a shock-absorbing crepe rubber sole.
• The leather is a strong cow hide that softens with wear and, being a natural product, is very breathable.
• They are secured with elastic on either side to allow for easy entry. This model also features a high instep and, being a pull on boot, works well with orthotics.

Styling

• The Roskilde is a style that works well in all seasons.
• Duckfeet shoes can be worn with or without socks in summer (and don't get smelly!) as the leather is a natural product that breathes. 
• Duckfeet shoes are unisex, so anyone can wear this classic boot.

“Beautifully made, great and distinctive design, and superior comfort make these a great choice.“ -Jonathan E.

Fit Notes

• The fit of the Roskilde is standard for Duckfeet shoes. Duckfeet are designed with space in mind, which is great for average to wide feet.
• The toe box has ample room to allow toes to spread naturally and the boot progressively narrows towards the heel.
• Narrow feet will work in this style too, although not as well due to a lack of laces or buckles, which usually hold a foot in place. 
• These boots are great for high insteps.
• Movement is to be expected in this style, and lessens as the leather wears in.
• To avoid blisters from the break-in process, check out our blog for alternative ways to soften up your pair that don't involve sacrificing your feet! breaking in your duckfeet
• Roskilde are suitable for a half or full orthotic, so you can be supported all year round.

"These are by far the best boots I have even owned. The craftsmanship is impeccable. I have a very wide toe spread (much like a duck) and have a hard time finding comfortable shoes. These were like heaven right out of the box...I see many pairs of Duckfeet in my future." -Tara D.

Size Notes

• We stock the Roskilde in Euro sizes 36 - 47 (no half sizes).
• It's standard for there to be some movement or spaces in the heel when you initially try on the shoes; this is caused by the leather being stiff, and will dissipate as they wear in.
• It's important to ensure your toes are no more than lightly touching the end of your shoes when standing or walking.
• To ensure you select the correct size, measure your feet by standing on a ruler. Compare your largest measurement against our size chart here for a guide to your Duckfeet size.
• If your measurement matches the maximum length of a size, choose the next size up.

Duckfeet Roskilde comes in Brown, Cocoa, Slate, Black, Cocoa/Red, Slate/Red, and now Bio.

"I’ve been looking for this style boot for a while. I wanted something different than what everyone else is wearing. I finally found the unique Roskilde. They’re well made, soft leather and pretty true to size. I’ve worn them 3 times and they seem to be broken-in already." -Pamela A L.
