Between raw leather and controlled elegance, Hast and Kleman unveil a collaboration that seemed like an obvious choice: a shoe born from a myth, reinvented for everyday urban life.
Inspired by an iconic mountain model , the pair retains the original sturdiness and utilitarian spirit, but is lightened in the low version to adopt a more urban profile.
A straightforward look, a compact silhouette, thick-grained leather: everything about it exudes robustness and simplicity, at the crossroads of style and function.
A shoe with a message: local, sustainable, timeless
The DNA of French know-how
Originally designed for hiking the trails of Anjou, it's now reinvented for city wear with wide-leg trousers. The Hast x Kleman shoe combines comfort, character, and durability.
Made in the heart of Romagna, near Cholet , in the historic Kleman workshops, this pair consists of Italian vegetable-tanned leather , lined with calfskin, and a thick recycled rubber sole , stitched laterally.
Every detail expresses the same conviction: to produce with exacting standards, as closely as possible, while preserving the essentials.
Two houses, one vision
Hast: accessible and timeless elegance
Since 2012, Hast has championed an exceptional menswear wardrobe , made to last: natural materials, European craftsmanship, and timeless style. A desire to return to the essentials , to the precision of well-made pieces.
Kleman: the working-class heritage that became an icon
Kleman's story begins in 1945 with René Cléon , a former prisoner of war who crafted small leather shoes in the heart of a Stalag. From this workshop would emerge a company that, in 1988 , became an official supplier to the SNCF (French National Railway Company), Air France, and the French Army.
As the heir to this public service expertise, it perpetuates today a raw and timeless workwear style .
A meaningful encounter
From the encounter between Hast's minimalist wardrobe and Kleman's historic workshop comes a manifesto shoe: local, traceable, designed to last .
Born in the Kleman family workshop, this grained leather hiking boot embodies the alchemy between heritage and modernity, between the Hast brand and the Cléon manufacture.
The Hast x Kleman pair will be available in very limited quantities , from November 26, 2025 on hastparis.com and in a selection of Hast stores .
