Laces look the part, but nobody wants to undo them twice a day. These boots keep the traditional lace-up front and add a side zip, so you get the adjustable fit without the fuss.

The details that make it work

The genuine leather upper gives a refined, workwear-inspired finish that holds up through autumn and winter, and textured panels add character to the silhouette. Traditional laces let you set the fit across the top of the foot once, and the side zip handles getting them on and off after that. Inside, a soft lining and cushioned insole carry the comfort through a full day of wear, so they're as good for a long walk as they are for the office.

Where it fits in

With dark jeans and a knit at the weekend, with chinos for smart-casual days, or under formal trousers when you want a boot rather than a shoe. They're versatile enough to cover most of the colder months on their own.
