Why 80% off?
For years we made one kind of boot: the pair you put on every morning without thinking about it. Full-grain leather and suede, cut thick enough to hold its shape and soft enough to break in, on soles that take city pavement and a muddy weekend alike. John Wayde is closing its doors, and the pairs still on the shelf are going at a fraction of what they cost us. The shop is still open and every order still ships as usual — but there is no next season and no restock.
Description
Our cap-toe boot in a vintage-finish full-grain leather that already looks broken in. Worn and lived-in from the first day, in the best way.
- Full-grain leather upper with a vintage finish
- Stitched cap toe
- Lace-up front with metal eyelets
- Low-profile rubber sole
Fit & sizing
True to size: measure your foot and pick the closest size in the guide. Between two sizes, take the larger one. Wide foot or high instep: go one full size up.
If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — it softens and settles to your foot within the first week.
Care
- Brush with a soft brush or wipe with a slightly damp cloth after each wear.
- Let them dry away from direct heat — never in the sun or near a fire.
- Condition the leather every few weeks so it does not dry out.
- Store them in a cool, dry place, stuffed with paper to keep their shape.

How to measure your feet
1. Wear the socks you usually pair with these shoes.
2. Place your foot on a sheet of paper and trace its outline.
3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe with a ruler.
4. Match your measurement to the table and adjust for foot shape. The CM and inch values correspond to your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.
Adjust for foot shape
– Normal: choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide and/or high instep: choose a full size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: choose the size closest to your measurement.

The leather
Already looks like an old friend
A vintage finish brings out the natural marks of the full-grain leather, so the boot looks like it has years of good stories in it — and it will only get better.
The details
A classic you will keep
A stitched cap toe, a straight lace line and a slim sole. The kind of boot your father wore, made to be handed down.
Up close
Every detail, made to last
Full-Grain Leather
Cut from full-grain leather — the top layer of the hide and the strongest part of it. It softens and shapes to your foot over the first weeks, and it does not crack or peel.
Stitched Cap Toe
A second layer of leather stitched across the toe — the part of a boot that meets kerbs and stairs first.
Low-Profile Rubber Sole
A low rubber sole that grips without adding bulk.

What our customers say
4.6 out of 5 · 8 reviews from customers who bought this style
wore them straight to work the day they arrived. leather is thick and the cap toe looks sharp with grey trousers
Been wearing these almost every day for a month. creased nicely across the toe, no cracking, soles still look new
Great boot. a bit stiff the first few days, by the second week they were the most comfortable thing I own
my wife says they make my jeans look expensive 😂 real leather you can smell it when you open the box
Ordered my usual 10 and they fit spot on. took them through a rainy week, wiped them down and they were fine
Love the look. laces are a bit long, I double knot them. otherwise no complaints
second pair. got the black first for the office and came back for a brown one for weekends
nice quality leather. the colour is a shade darker than the photos but honestly I like it better
