About this style

The Byrne is a classic cut Chelsea boot in pull-up calf leather, offered in Black or Brown. Fine elastic gussets, woven pull loops, a self-coloured storm welt and a branded Vibram VI-Lite full tread sole combine traditional lines with lightweight, all-weather practicality. Wears as easily with tailored trousers as with weekend denim.

Questions, answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these run true to size?

The Byrne fits true to size for most customers. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, choose the full size above, as the pull-up calf leather will soften and mould with wear but does not stretch significantly across the width.

What leather is used and is the boot fully lined?

The upper is pull-up calf leather, a vegetable-influenced hide that develops a natural patina and shows character marks over time. The boot is fully lined in natural calf leather, which regulates moisture and adds structure without synthetic materials.

Can I wear the Byrne to a smart-casual office or does it only work with suits?

The Byrne works across both. The clean Chelsea silhouette pairs well with tailored trousers and a blazer, but it sits just as well with dark denim or chinos for a smart-casual look. The Vibram VI-Lite sole gives it enough practicality for daily commuting without sacrificing the dressed appearance.

How should I care for pull-up calf leather to keep these in good condition?

Clean off dirt with a dry cloth or soft brush, then feed the leather every few weeks with a quality cream or wax polish in the matching colour. Pull-up leather responds well to conditioning and the natural markings that appear with wear can largely be buffed out, which is part of the leather's character.
