Explorer Suede by Tarvas is based on vintage footwear discovered during hunting trips across Finland, where bold, functional details were designed to withstand slush, snow, mud, and water. This model carries the same ethos, built with naturally water-repellent Italian suede uppers, full leather lining, and a custom sole produced locally in Finland, just 40 km from the assembly site. Its defining feature is the signature mudguard, wrapping the shoe for added weather protection. Made in Finland with raw materials sourced from Europe.
