The leather
Soft outside, strong inside
Roughout genuine leather puts the soft side out and keeps the strength in. Knocks disappear into the nap; a quick brush brings it back.

The design
Built for every day
A clean plain toe and a heel that sits square. Wear it hard all week — it only gets more comfortable.
Up close
Every detail, made to last

Roughout Genuine Leather
The soft side of the hide turned out: it hides scuffs and brushes clean in a minute.
Plain Toe
A clean toe with no extra seams — nothing to date it and nothing to come loose.
Studded Rubber Sole
Rubber studs underfoot for grip on wet pavement and polished floors.

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
