The Oban is a classic cut 2-eyelet chukka boot, offered in Black and Brown calf leather and in Brown calf suede. A storm welt with bronze stitch and a rubber studded impact density sole sit under a pared-back upper, smooth calf for the office, suede for the weekend.

When to wear them

Office and business wear. The Black and Brown calf sit comfortably with tailored trousers and chinos in business-casual settings.

Weekends and casual. Where the Brown suede belongs. The low profile pairs naturally with denim and chinos.

Smart events. The Black calf works for relaxed dress codes and evenings out.

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

How they fit

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.

Care Instructions

Calf leather (Black, Brown). Brush after each wear with a horsehair brush to lift surface dust. Every three to four wears, wipe with a slightly damp cloth, allow to dry naturally, then apply a leather conditioner and finish with a colour-matched wax polish, such as JW Premium Wax Polish.

Calf suede (Brown Suede). Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and every few weeks thereafter. Brush regularly with a suede brush to lift the nap, and use a suede eraser for marks. Never use wax polish or leather conditioner on suede.

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.
