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 Chelsea boot in polished full-grain leather with pull tabs front and back. Smooth, warm and easy to put on.
- Polished full-grain leather upper
- Elastic side panels
- Pull tabs front and back
- 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
Smooth leather, warm colour
Polished full-grain leather with depth in the colour — lighter where the light hits, darker at the edges. A little polish now and then keeps it glowing for years.
The details
Two tabs, one easy move
Pull tabs at the front and the back and elastic at the sides: it slides on in one go and sits close around the ankle all day.
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.
Front and Back Pull Tabs
Pull tabs at the front and back and elastic at the sides — it slides on in one go.
Rubber Sole
A rubber sole that grips without adding bulk.

What our customers say
4.5 out of 5 · 8 reviews from customers who bought this style
on and off in two seconds which is exactly why I wanted a chelsea. leather is soft and looks expensive
Smart enough for a suit, good with jeans. the elastic was tight at first, loosened after a few wears
nice boot. I'd say they run a touch narrow, if you have wide feet go up like the guide says
wore them to a wedding and then all week at work. comfortable all day, no rubbing at the heel
the pull tabs are a small thing but they make it so easy in the morning. great leather
Good looking boots. sole was a bit slippery on a polished floor the first days, fine now
got so many compliments the first time I wore them 🔥 already thinking about another colour
solid quality, real leather. colour is a little lighter in person, still really nice
