Byrne Chelsea Boot

Office and business wear. Both finishes sit comfortably alongside tailored trousers or a blazer. Black is the sharpest choice for business settings.

Weekends and casual. The clean profile pairs naturally with denim and chinos. Brown lends itself to relaxed weekend outfits; Black keeps things sharper.

Smart events. The Black pull-up calf works with a lounge suit for smart events and evening occasions.

Not formal enough for. Black tie, white tie and formal morning dress, where an Oxford is the appropriate choice.

Order your everyday UK size. Order the same UK size you wear in most leather footwear. If you normally wear a half size in other brands, choose the full size above, for example UK 9.5 elsewhere means UK 10 here.

Snug at first is correct. The natural calf leather lining will soften and bed in over the first few wears. Some initial snugness across the forefoot is expected and normal.

Wide forefoot or high instep? Consider ordering one full size above your usual size. The leather will mould with wear but does not stretch significantly across the width.

Full UK sizes only. This style is stocked in full UK sizes 6 to 12; no half sizes are available.

Pull-up calf (Black, Brown). Brush after each wear with a horsehair brush to remove surface dust. Light scuffs and creases are characteristic of pull-up calf; most marks can be softened by rubbing the area gently with your fingers or a soft cloth so the oils and waxes in the leather redistribute. Condition sparingly with a neutral leather cream every few weeks. Avoid heavy wax polish, which can dull the pull-up finish.

Storage. Insert cedar shoe trees after wearing to hold the shape and draw out moisture, and allow at least 24 hours between wears. Store away from direct heat and sunlight.
