The Boot Room
John White has been putting men in proper shoes since 1919. Every boot here is leather lined, properly soled, and comes in whole UK sizes. Pick by the life you lead, not by the picture.
The Byrne Chelsea, in three leathers
No laces, no decisions. Pull-up calf that ages in the right direction, or the same boot in calf suede and full grain. Self-coloured storm welt and stitch, lined in natural calf, on a branded Vibram sole. If you buy one boot this autumn, this is the one that earns its keep five days a week.
Wessex, Oban and Castle
Three chukkas, three characters. The Wessex is three eyelets of brown calf suede with a storm welt and contrast stitch, lined in natural calf: the one for cords and a jumper. The Oban is the plainest boot there is, two eyelets in black or brown calf or brown suede, with a bronze-stitched storm welt round a studded rubber sole. The Castle, in black plain calf and fully leather lined, is the sharp one, and the easiest to wear to work.
Suede, for the months that are not quite winter
The Byrne in calf suede, the Swale chukka, the Hill Chelsea: suede reads warmer and less formal than polished calf, which makes it the easier boot with denim and the harder one to get wrong on a Saturday. All lined, all on proper rubber soles.
