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
A cap-toe chukka in polished full-grain leather with a warm, shaded finish. Dressier than a chukka usually gets.
- Polished full-grain leather upper
- Stitched cap toe
- Ankle-height lace-up
- Studded rubber sole for grip
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
Polished, and it shows
Smooth full-grain leather with the colour shaded darker at the toe. Polish it and it glows; leave it and it ages into a rich, even tone.
The shape
Low, sharp and easy
An ankle-height boot with a stitched cap toe — the polish of a dress shoe with the comfort of a boot. Made for days that start at the office and end at dinner.
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.
Studded Rubber Sole
Rubber studs underfoot for grip on wet pavement and polished floors.

What our customers say
4.4 out of 5 · 8 reviews from customers who bought this style
lightest boot I own. wear them with chinos every weekend now, the suede is really soft
Nice chukka. took a suede spray to them before wearing, rain spots brush right off
comfortable from the first hour, didn't need breaking in at all. fits true to size
good boot for the money. the color is a bit warmer than I expected but it works with everything
Looks great with jeans. laces came a little short for my liking, swapped them, no big deal
wore them on holiday and walked miles every day. feet were fine. very happy
quality is good but I should have sized up, they're a bit snug across the top. exchanging for the next size
real suede, nice stitching, simple and clean. exactly what I wanted
